No Shinnie or Christie???

 

Wtf Strachan.

 

I agree we should keep the same team who should've beaten England but bringing in Whittaker and excluding them?

I'd take Wales or Sweden.

Actually just saw that Wales need a draw or win against Belgium.

Tricky task so if the Czech Republic get through I'd take them and get our revenge 🤓

I see we’ve got a card happy ref for this game. Just what we need 😬

Aye 18 in his last 2 games 🤦‍♂️

 

I'll take anyone getting one bar mcginn.  He's basically become our fulcrum... to my eyes at least 

Really looking forward to this match.

Nice to know we don't need a result to get to the play off's.

Obviously a draw or win would be great.

Talk of Denmark not bringing full team.

The yellow card rule (which is ridiculous) bothers me a lot and I fear we may miss 1 or 2 vital players next March.

What we have achieved already in the group is excellent.

Cmon lads!!!

It's clearly deliberate too, to give the big teams a better chance to progress. Nobody would consider it beneficial from a sporting perspective. They'll have clearly considered it and assumed that the bigger teams that might drop into the playoffs will likely be less affected by missing a player or two. They probably also know that the bigger teams will have had less yellow cards over the qualifying. I understand that Clarke has to remain focused, but it should be called out publicly by someone at the SFA.

I'd actually liked to have seen guys like McGinn, Adams, Gilmour, Robertson, Tierney be told to go and pick up a deliberate booking against Moldova to rule them out for tonight's game rather than the playoff semi. It's such a difficult balance, but I think that a seeding with one or two of our better players missing is just as difficult as being unseeded with no players missing, and there's a very good chance that we're both unseeded and have players missing. Not only that, but a suspension would have wiped the bookings count for the playoffs, which is vital. I could see McGinn or Tierney get through tonight's match without a booking, but I can't see them get through two games without picking up a single yellow, so I think we should have taken the hit and let a few of the fringe players like McLean, Nisbet etc have a free run at it tonight with the pressure very much off.

To be honest, I wouldn't even trust Dykes not to pick up two bookings in two games!

It's a'rite Jute, I'll get it

Souttar the big surprise I suppose. Dykes out is a blow, not been convinced at all by Christie of late, however Brown looked like a total headless chicken when he came on, so probably not many options.

Sincerely hope I'm wrong but with a few exceptions that team gives me the fear.

Please please prove me wrong guys 🤞

The Danes fielding pretty much a full strength team? Genuine question, I don't know.  have managed to get the receptionist to put the game on, so hopefully be able to nip out and sneak a few mins here at there.

Putting in some wicked crosses.Unlucky not to be a goal up

Absolutely

That's the best half of fitba I've seen from Scotland in a long time (maybe the England game?). Phenomenal performance. The workrate been immense and the concentration and discipline too. Completely deserve the lead, and the extra bonus goal for having millions of corners craigbrown™

 

Holy shit

What a finish from Adams

2-0

Oooft shoulda been shree

Adams has let that line magnificently tonight

A contender for MOTM for me.

Agreed. and 1 in 3 goals so far at international level.Decent

Excellent night. Win and no bookings. Now, knowing our luck, we get Italy in the semi...

He was amazing.  He had he touch of fucking Maradonna at times, was my motm long before he scored

Man, hampden is fucking bouncing

What a performance. Best this century. Just brilliant. Adams motm, but every single player was top class. Ran themselves into the ground. Phenomenal. Well done Clarke. Nae bookings either, because we barely put in a sliding tackle because we were so disciplined.
