If Clarkson is fit would like to see him coming in for Gueye and play in behind Striker with McGrath and Keskinen wide. Nisbet’s goal in the last game would see him getting nod over Sokler for me as our striker. As Manc says Motherwell seem to be in decent for and can see this being our toughest test so far. However to add to our problems I am also going to game which usually ends badly. In train then pub Y pub the train 2-0 Nisbet and Keskinen.

Ramsey played well in first game against Spain. 5-0 win sets up the game against Belgium nicely.

3-0 up at half time.

Finished 2-1 to Wales. Rubi grew into game and played well after shakey start.

Rubi playing for Montenegro against Wales currently. Wales 2-0 up after 3 minutes. Rubi partially at fault for first and struggling to cope with Kiefer Moore in opening exchanges.

So 1 win in 14. Sat too deep at start of second and the inevitable equaliser arrived courtesy of another shot Gunn should have saved. He then redeemed himself with another couple of excellent saves and we did get up the field a bit for awhile but slowly got deeper and deeper and Portugal just kept coming down our right to go after Ralston and eventually got a cross in where McKenna switched off and it was 2-1. Seen some in press describe it as a positive performance but would argue that 2-1 flattered us and if Portugal had a decent striker or Ronaldo in his prime we probably get hit for 4 or 5.

1-0 up at half time. Nearly every Portuguese attack has come down our right. Gunn, McKenna, and some poor Portuguese finishing keeping us in the game.

1-0 up with yet another McTominay goal.

Christie would be one to drop out for me. Being an EPL regular should not guarantee you a start. Gauld offered more than Christie on Thursday so should get the start in my opinion. Christie is 8/1 to score anytime before anyone asks.

I would like to have seen Gauld start to give us a bit more width and more attacking threat.

Same team as Thursday.

Aye out until the end of the year.

Comfortable 1-2 win for Spain in the end who had some really good players and way they moved ball seemed effortless at times. Mebude took his goal welll for us and looks like he might be one for future but that was probably our one real chance. Jack Milne came on for Calvin Ramsey (who played well) at right back and did struggle positionally and kept drifting inside. Just increased my concerns about cover at right back for Dons.

Link to game for those not attending or sitting on a fucking bus.

U21 team for tonight. Might get there for half time at this rate. Edinburgh traffic at its finest.

Individual errors from players who are not good enough for international football cost us tonight. Ralston isn’t even good enough for his club side. I think we have to stop picking players who are not playing regularly at club level.

There was a suggestion last week that Clarkson was targeting the Motherwell game for his return. Would assume if both are fit Clarkson would play in behind the striker with McGrath wide left. Hopefully club can persuade McGrath to extend his contract but have a suspicion he might want to see what’s available.

More games moved for Europe. At least only one home game being moved.

Good news that. Would hate to have just signed up to Premier Sports recently to see the away game. Does anyone know where you go on the Premier Sport site to cancel a subscription.

Rovers appoint Neill Collins as manager. Was sacked by Barnsley last season with them in play off places.

Not really youths but Aberdeen XI beat Cove 2-0 in a testimonial match for Blair Yule. Dons goals from Morris and Nisbet.

Dundee keeper Jon McCracken also called up.
