Scotland Game Tonight

[LustForLeith]

A bit out of touch with Scotland, but anyone heard the rumour doing the rounds about the starting eleven for tonight?

No McGinn, Hanlon or Jason starting. Quite an emphasis of Aberdeen players I believe with the game being up there.

Tbf Aberdeen are sitting second in the league and are a really good side just now. Doesn’t seem unreasonable for them to have two players in the team.

[Oscar T Grouch]

On twitter this morning that Jack is starting 😳
I really don’t see what MM sees in this player.

I think he'll be in at right back

Correct, which is nuts as he shouldn't be anywhere near the squad.

I'd be surprised if MM doesn't get the job on a permanent basis, given that he's been allowed to completely clear out the backroom staff. SFA are a joke.

Depends who those two players are. Christie yes... anyone else? Nope.

If the game was at ER we'd all be crying out for our players to get a start. I've no issues with us giving players from the consistently 2nd best team in the country, a chance at that level. Thoroughly deserve the chance to represent their country at their home stadium.

At least we know if they do fail, it wont be for a lack of effort. Get 11 hungry and eager to impress on the park and see how they do in a FRIENDLY!!

Ryan Jack at RB seems a joke but then I've never seen him play there....

Aberdeen may be the second best team in the country but John McGinn is by a considerable distance the best Scottish midfielder in the country outwith Celtic and arguably every bit as good as the Celtic midfielders and should be in the team well ahead of any of the Aberdeen players.

Agreed. I think McGinn definitely deserves another start for Scotland ahead of any Aberdeen players.

McGinn hasnt been the best Scottish midfielder at Hibs this season. He is good but he isnt well ahead of guys who have been finishing 2nd for 3 years now.

I rate McLean, Shinnie and particularly Christie...wouldn't swap any of them for McGinn though.

Exactly. He also wasn't our best player in the Scottish Championship last season.

That is in no way a dig at SJM. He has a bright future ahead of him but IMO some on here go way over the top with praise for the lad.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that front. Aberdeen have finished second because they’ve got good players all over the park, not cause any of the three players called up are immensely talented. IMO John McGinn is an considerably better player than they 3 and Aberdeen would be a better team with McGinn in their team ahead of any of there own players. McGinn has also shown in his appearances for Scotland how good he is and as such should be ahead of them.

[B.H.F.C]

From Hibs point of view I'll be happy to see McGinn on the bench. He's been struggling a bit with injuries. Would be surprised if he didn't get a decent run out though.

Thought Griffiths and Fletcher have both pulled out, who's playing upfront then if JC isn't starting? Will we go with the trusty 4-5-0?

McLean and Jack was at Aberdeen

[DarlingtonHibee]

Sad to say it but don't give a damn about the national team, I'd rather have John resting up.

Phillips up front with McGregor behind him apparently

[Smartie]

I thought McLean was outstanding against us the other week.

I don't really get the fuss. It's s friendly, we've not qualified for the World Cup and need to look to the future. Why not give a few new players a chance?

If they're pish, we just don't pick them again.

But you took the time to open the thread, which was clearly about Scotland, and reply to it....

Strange!

Fwiw I think You may well be right as I think we’ll go for Michael O’neill As soon as they’re out.

I agree but the fact that MM while denying that the inclusion was to get fans in to watch tonight reveals two are starting contradicts what he was saying.
