At the end of the Portugal game, Danny Murphy said the first game ( for the big boys in the tournament) is the hardest. Really? What does Germany think of that? ?.

OK, we were p1sh against the Germans and hope we show up better against the Swiss.
Something puzzling me is the makeup of the squad - unless it's Braveheart or warrior material we're still cannon fodder. Why doesn't any Scottish manager pick players from the top teams from Scotland and England based on league standings?
So, 4-4-2 would be
Clark
Ralston
Souttar
Tierney
Taylor
Forrest
McTominay
McGregor
Robertson
Wright
Shankland
I know we'll miss out on McGinn, Gunn, Adams, Hendry and Christie but at least the team above will be based on merit and league placings. The team coudn't be any worse than what we saw on Friday.

Souttar isn’t in the squad and who is Wright?
19 Jun 2024 07:04:43
Who is Wright?
19 Jun 2024 08:08:37
After reading that team it’s certainly not Stengo who is right.
19 Jun 2024 08:33:29
Scott Wright - Sevco.

The same Murphy that said he didntvsee the point putting a sub on with 3 mins to go doh.
19 Jun 2024 10:50:15
That team's a shocker Stengo.
19 Jun 2024 11:26:55
That's a terrible team Stengo.
If he is going to play his usual formation, I would play Forrest as a RWB and bring Gilmour in for Christie.
At least Gilmour can keep a hold of the ball.
I would play Adams and bring Shankland on with 30mins to go if we need to win the game.
At least we will know the damage from the Germany game before kickoff where I'm hoping Germany put another 5 past Hungary.

Kevbhoy - I totally agree. It's not my type of team but when you look at the top teams by league placings in Scotland and England and pick the Scots who they have to form a team then that's pretty much the best there is.
I left Gilmour, Adams and Christie out as they are not in those "top" teams but to show we have no chance of progressing based on the criteria I had set.
19 Jun 2024 12:34:15
Stengo, wtf, you've missed out Connor Barron ??.
19 Jun 2024 16:42:31
I’m not sure if Wright is even in the squad, I’d mortgage my house he isn’t .
20 Jun 2024 17:22:10
Mcginn would be in ahead of mctominay going by league positions stengo.
