Porteous was playing very well for Scotland prior to the Germany game where he made a split second decision to stop a certain goal and unfortunately made contact with the German player giving away the pen and in doing so rightly received a red card. He has been ghosted since, unfairly imo. Far more mobile than the rest of the central defenders we have. He was also immense against Spain.
He deserves another chance. IMHO.

Porteous is an idiot.
Liam Kelly is also miles ahead of McCracken - miles!
The rest i agree with mostly to be fair.
C'mon Ye Pars!

I really hope (and expect) Barney Stewart to do well in England, and if he does then he`ll be in with a shout in a year or so.

I think he will too. I’d revisit Harvey Barnes as I don’t think Clarke tried hard enough to persuade him and I don’t buy the he’s turned us down so he can get to !!!! notion. Looking to the future I’d be at Jack Fletchers door as well I think his head could be turned and he’ll be a top class player in the future. Bowie the ex Hibee will be one to watch, James Wilson at Tottenham/Hearts also. Ex Celtic lad Welsh was outstanding for Motherwell last year but like the Hearts lads Milne and Halkett had to watch from the sidelines not even given a chance in friendlies. I was at a loss why McKenna and Hanley were picked before Hyam who was excellent against Ivory Coast. There are players out there that can form the basis of an exciting team for the future, the only problem position is goalkeeper and I suspect we’ll need to stick with Gunn for the foreseeable future. We’re not awash with talent but I don’t think we’re as short as people make out if we can get the right coach ( not McGlynn) I think the future will be exciting.

I reckon Robertson might retire from international football. Not that he’d be too hard to replace.

Not a chance when he’s so close to the cap record. Don’t get the Robertson hate.

McLean been one or our best players this WC. Not that the bar set that high but after Ferguson and Hendry i`d say he impressed me the most.
The rest are spot on IMO.

McCracken, Porteous and Gauld should be no where near the team.
Christie 100% has a place in the squad. Hirst looked decent in the friendlies in March, but needs to be doing it at club level. McLean has also earned his place in the squad for the Nations League at least.

Gauld us not even close to getting in the team, one of the names thrown around all the time when no one actually watched him play, similar to oli Burke

Thought Gauld looked decent when he last played…and regarding OB, any player who plays regularly in the Budesliga should at least be in the squad.

I`d re-visit Barnes. Why cut your nose off to spite your face. This may be unpopular but would re-visit McBurnie too. We can`t afford to ignore strikers with his record at the level at which he plays.

We had one of the oldest squads at the WC with an average age of 28.7 years. Many of the players may well see the Euros if we qualify, but pethaps not the nnext W C. A rebuild is inevitable.
