got your ticket yet or collecting it again ?

Not sure yet, hopefully not collecting 😏

**CMurdoch** · 22-05-2017 12:24 AM

Will watch it in the boozer then toddle of to the Usher Hall to watch Kraftwerk

**poolman** · 22-05-2017 12:36 AM

I'll find a hostelry in Alykes in Zante and have a few ales 🍺

**HibbySpurs** · 22-05-2017 07:13 AM

In Menorca on holiday, sure I'll find a bar to watch it in.

**rodhibs55** · 22-05-2017 07:31 AM

I'll be in Majorca quite close to Santa Ponsa so I suppose it will be round to MacTavish's to watch the game.

***Bishop Hibee*** · 22-05-2017 08:20 AM

Looking forward to the game in hope rather than expectation. Edinburgh Tartan Army buses leave Diane's Pool Hall 9.30a.m. Clockwork Beer Co. for a few beers then off to the game. Post-match celebrations at a 50th in the Limelight at Jock's Lodge.

**FilipinoHibs** · 22-05-2017 09:56 AM

Midnight kick off in Singapore but will stay up.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 22-05-2017 10:49 AM

Probably best to watch it from behind the sofa.

***Off the bar*** · 22-05-2017 11:23 AM

Why on earth have we named 4 goal keepers in the squad for one game?

**pacoluna** · 22-05-2017 11:31 AM

I'm looking for a ticket if anyone has one going spare

***Carheenlea*** · 22-05-2017 11:35 AM

Will try and find somewhere to watch the game with a few beers, but the football is just the warm up to the main event for a few of us that day - Kraftwerk at The Usher Hall

**Pretty Boy** · 22-05-2017 11:36 AM

Why is McGreggor of Celtic not in the squad? We have the option of building a core around the Scottish players from our best domestic side who went the season undefeated and Strachan seems to miss it.

Gordon
Tierney
Brown
Armstrong
McGreggor
Griffiths

A very decent core to build around with the like of Robertson and Snodgrass also available and consistently good performers. Obviously the real problems are at CB but a group of players who play together and win togetger every week seems like the obvious starting point to me.

And not just because it's Hearts but how the **** is Jack Hamilton getting in the squad?

**Salt N Sauzee** · 22-05-2017 11:38 AM

Decent Squad that. Only question is how on earth does Jack Hamilton keep getting picked when he doesn't even get picked for Hearts?

**Humo** · 22-05-2017 11:43 AM

Good to see McGinn in the squad, doubt he'll play but its great experience for him to train with the squad.

How has Hamilton made the squad he's not even first choice at Hearts?

**JeMeSouviens** · 22-05-2017 11:43 AM

Aw naw, I've just realised I'll be in darkest Englandshire that weekend. Staying with an English mate who's definitely going to enjoy rubbing it in. He's an Ipswich fan so I've been sending him texts all year with how much I love Grant Holt updates.

Miracle needed

***R'Albin*** · 22-05-2017 11:45 AM

Mark ****ing Reynolds?!

***GreenNWhiteArmy*** · 22-05-2017 11:48 AM

Always felt we deserved something out of the game at Wembley but their quality in the final third proved the difference imo.

Strange from Gogs calling up 4 GKs. Will be a good experience for SJM but at the same time, i'd rather he was resting on a beach somewhere. The lad needs a break!

Looking forward to the game. Atmosphere will be good as it's a big game. Hoping for a win but would take a draw if i'm honest. Defeat could end our chances of 2nd

**Since90+2** · 22-05-2017 11:51 AM

Calum McGregor should be in that squad without a doubt. Very underrated player.

**rodhibs55** · 22-05-2017 12:00 PM

Totally agree with your comment re McGregor, lads had a brilliant season for them providing goals and assists. For me it beggars belief that Barry Bannan is in in front of him. There's probably a few others that are questionable as well.

**Thecat23** · 22-05-2017 12:02 PM

Just seen Barry Bannan is in it. My interest in Scotland is lower than ever. No interest in this game at all, give me a shout in 20 years when maybe just maybe there is huge change in our game.

Jack Hamilton in any football squad is odd enough!

Unbelievable

Bannan has been excellent this season for his domestic side and every time I've watched them pundits/commentators have commented on how important he is.

**Iain G** · 22-05-2017 12:39 PM

Oli Burke left out, surely still a talented player that can make a difference compared to anything else we have selected in the squad?

He's been nothing other than very poor for Scotland for a very long time though. There comes a time that you need to have done something for your country to justify continually getting in National team squads.

I was saying the same thing about Chris Martin before he came on and scored the winner in our last game......

**Big_Franck** · 22-05-2017 12:53 PM

No Oliver Burke or Callum McGregor but Jack f'n Hamilton is included as a 4th keeper? Absolute madness.

What's yer plans? I've got a day out with fellow hibbys.Watch the cup final DVD,the big game,then watch T2 with a massive Cairry oot..👍

Difficult to get excited by Scotland. If we get away without Kane and Alli tearing us a new one, we'll have done well!!

Sorry, but there it is!

***SteveHFC*** · 22-05-2017 02:31 PM

So no Oliver Burke, Callum McGregor, Matt Ritchie and Graeme Shinnie.

Which 4 would you have left out from the squad Strachan picked to accommodate these 4?

Does it have to be 4 different players, or can I just say I'd have left out James Forrest four times? He's brutal.
