Really detest international football, however as we have a full 'mothers day' house some of the family wanted to see how Scotland were doing on TV.
Apart from no goals it seems Young Tierney has had to play right back to accommodate Robertson, (just like when Danny McGrain was switched to suit jardine) ; Griffiths has been crocked by the flying knee of the Slovenian goalie, while Armstrong and KT have suffered reckless foul challenges - all ignored by the weak referee.
Then turned it off after 75 because we were going to fail yet again - and it was all the Celtic players on the pitch's fault according to the sevconian branch of the clan.
Aye ye can stuff yer international break!

I'm not particularly fussed on internationals either. But pleased to see Scotland win, especially with a strong Celtic contingent.

I've read and heard some criticism of WGS this week in the build up to yesterday's game, stemming from the thought of him favouring Celtic players. Given what else is available, it's only right! And an important win justified that.

When you see people saying Wallace should play ahead of KT, it's fair to assume that people are letting a certain allegiance tint footballing sense. I believe a large proportion of the great and revolutionary Lions team were ignored for years. Although the older bhoys on here will have to remind me who exactly were keeping players like Jinky, Murdoch, Lennox or Gemmell out the side

As for KT. I read him saying he's been focusing on his right foot in preparation for him being needed on that side. I think all young players should be trying to improve their weaker side anyway, but it will be encouraging to see him develop into a player comfortable on both sides.

Two of my favourite full-backs are Lahm and Maldini, who both played on their 'weaker side'. With the way the game is now, wide players cut inside more than running to the byline. KT playing on the right, and his opponent cutting inside, would mean he can use his left side to defend. That's an easier job. Similarly at the other end, and KT is great at getting up and down, he could cut inside to create on his stronger foot. There's good counters though, that you become predictable in attack or that if chasing back, you're suddenly on your weaker side. I'm not sure I would particularly look to make KT a RB, or encourage the development of left-footed right-backs and vice versa. But perhaps I'm not pioneering enough to be a great coach or manager. I just think it will be a great string to KT's bow and aid him in his development to what I think will be an incredibly well-rounded player.

Don't think Wallace should be anywhere near the international side,

Thought KT was a standout last night also, really lucky to have a player of his calibre, long may it continue.
