How the fuck are we in a situation where those are our 3 best goalkeepers. 

Goalies take ages to develop, and then last forever. We'll no doubt have a rake of them in five years time. Scott Bain probably the best performing Scottish keeper just now. Archie Mair throwing them in for Morecambe these days.

Dont know what to expect tomorrow. Do we pull of a home Spain/denmark performance, or do we match the last time Greece spanked us at home? Must win game, hope we are on it!

2-1 us, karlsson scoring both. Only a matter of time before he becomes Scottish and makes the squad!

Think we need to approach this in similar way to the game in Copenhagen as when we opened up against them in March we got thrashed. Goalkeeper is major concern as none of them are playing for their clubs. Gunn is now third choice at Forrest, Kelly is 2nd choice at Blue Bigots and Gordon is second choice at Hearts. Not a great position to be in. Hickey is fit so should start at right back with Robertson at left back. Would like to see 3 centre backs as Tierney McKenna and Souter but know Clarke will want Hanley in there. Midfield is interesting one with several of the players playing well. McGinn especially is playing well at Villa.  Striking options are pretty limited as always but at least all are playing and have scored. Would expect Clarke to stick with Che as starting striker. Greeks will have been stung by defeat by Danes in last round of qualifiers and looking to get back on track. A draw might be result that suits both. Got ticket for tonight but not sure going to be heading over as still getting over op will be a last minute decision. 
 

1-1 Adams

Not sure I'd go a back three. Tierney can barely play 60 minutes at the moment, and needs to be quietly sidelined. A great player on his day, but I think it'd be down to luck if we happen to get that day. Wouldn't mind seeing both Dykes and Adams start, as it's a good combination. Keep McTominay high up the park and we'll be fine.

Just cannot see Clarke going away from three at the back.

Apart from the last two games..... 

Hanley and Souttar v Denmark, with McKenna coming in for Belarus.

Could go a number of ways, back three with width from hickey and Robertson, but then doak is benched. Back 4 and doak plays. Don’t know if we are good enough to go 4-4-2, Adams and dykes up top with doak mctom Ferguson and mcginn in midfield. 
I’d also consider 3-5-2 with doak and dykes up top.
we’re never ideal I feel as we are always playing with center mids out of position. think Clarke isn’t brave enough, 4 at the back, Christie into midfield,  and it’s Adams up top.

With Tierney back I expect him to revert back to a 3.
