Change of subject to our national team. Finding it difficult to comprehend exactly what Clarke is doing . He has a young striker Doak who hasn't kicked a ball for months after Injury. He has our former player now Ryan jck who can't stay fit longer than 2 games starting today. sorry to say this and i'm gutted but ill be surprised if we qualify out of this group . hope i'm proved wrong.

Doak is predominantly a winger. Don’t think he will play much and don’t think Jack will either. He needs to lose one more player from squad.

I would suggest that as Clarke has got us to the last 2 Euro’s final and also pot A in the nations league he’s probably bought enough merit to suggest he doesn’t indeed know what he’s doing.
As for getting out the group, I’m not sure we’ll have enough in the tank for this, I hope I’m wrong and if we fail to do so I can’t see Clarke being the issue.

Been thinking the same last couple of games. But he does know how to make a team hard to beat.
Let's face it the last Scotland manager you could say that about was Craig Brown.
I don't know where any goals come from in the team but still think they could surprise a few this summer. I do think Hickey is a massive miss though.

Decee it's always good to have a young unknown in your squad, especially someone with explosive pace like young doak, it's something we lack mate. As for Ryan jack he's one of our own so am OK with that. Decee we Don't get to many pal, we should just enjoy it while we're there.

Jack you won't need to worry about. He will get injured after today so will not make Euros!
Doak is the great hope of the future. It will be good for him/ us to get the experience of being out there in a tournament environment. He may or may not get minutes.

I too, worry about where the goals are going to come from. However, I remain hopeful of a good showing for Scotland.

Tommygun, totally agree mate think he's an excellent young player and a big miss for us.
Not sure myself dado but feck it let's just enjoy mate.

Doak was the best player in Scotland i had seen in his age group. I remember talking to his dad at barrowfield when he was playing for them. Man city were watching him that day. We were talking about the game and getting on well. Wee doak went passed one then another, round greg allen then i seen this look on my boys face as he sprinted in and put him 6ft in the air. Then gets a high 5 off his lb. That killed the mood for the rest of the conversation ??.

National level don’t have a proven goalscorer, that’s why I don’t think they will get out the group.
Be surprised if they win any games.
Possible draw against the Swiss.
Hope they perform well though.

It’s a tough group, I think we will once again be the plucky losers.
We won’t get battered by anyone but we lack goals unfortunately
I’m a patriotic Scotsman so will be hoping we exceed expectations.

Ryan Jack not starting on the bench.
