Paul Hanlon - Scotland call up?

[hfc rd]

Just seen on BBC that Kieran Tierney has been ruled out of the Scotland friendlies. McLeish mentioned in his presser that he was going to use Tierney as a CB in both games against Costa Rica and Hungary.


Paul deserves to be called up in Tierney’s place. He’s been immense for Hibs and I wouldn’t swap him for any other CB in the league.

Either him or McGregor, both have been strong this season and deserve a place in the squad at least.

No chance Mcgregor will be called up, he’s been good for us this year but he’s not at international level.

He's a better player than Paul, only barrier is age regarding getting a call up. I suspect Berra will be recalled.

Hanlon is a better centre half and better footballer than McGregor for me. I like Daz a lot, but PH is better all round.

McGregor is far better centre back imo however Hanlon a better footballer when on the ball.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Mikey Stewart tipping Berra or Liam Lindsay for that spot.

[WellingtonHibby]

Liam Lindsay should have been in the squad in the first place

[Dashing Bob S]

Prefer McGregor to Hanlon.

[CLASS OF 72 -73]

McGregor is a fine player but age will go against him and think he has missed his chance.
Hanlon deserves the nod and tends to as a quiet lad get less credit and press than McGregor from Hibs fans. Has had a great season and now rightfully skipper with Gray out.

I’d agree

[MacGruber]

Berra is a better defender than Hanlon at this stage
Hanlon is a better footballer than Berra - if that makes sense.
Paul is a ball playing CB - the type you would pair up with a no nonsense more industrial CB like Berra

I think we can safely say that Hanlon wont be getting called up any time soon now. Nothing changes with these squads....players with potential get a move to Old Firm and are suddenly in the squad. The positive is Hanlon wont be wasting his time playing pointless games and can concentrate on the team that counts.

[KWJ]

I feel for Paul because now is his time.

While it's great to get some young players bled into the squad they do also require some experienced guys along side them and Hanlon has plenty more football in him. I'd say he gets better with every season.

[Libby Hibby]

Jack Hendry before Hanlon ??? Does anyone else not rate Hendry or is it just me?

I’ve got no idea how good the laddie is tbh. I know he’s been picked cos he’s at Celtic and that’s all.

[The Modfather]

I’m a big fan of McGregor but IMO he’s no where near international standard, he’s not quick enough or mobile enough, and at 32 he’s not going to be a long or even mid term solution.

Guys like, Hendry, Porteous (in the next few years), McKenna, Devin etc are the future and should be given a try in friendlies with a view to the long term.

Hanlon is still young enough to get into the squad, and should have been given a chance before now. An elegant defender, and he’s come on leaps and bounds in recent years in this area, but I still have my doubts whether he is strong enough or aggressive enough for international football.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

McLeish is a yes man. Bringing in a manager before appointing a CEO imo, is criminal.

As for Hendry, I've heard he's got a great future but would he have gotten the cap in December? No chance! Delighted for the lad McKenna, but the likes of Hanlon, Lindsay and dare I say it, Souttar should be ahead of Hendry imo

I’ve no idea how good a player he is but nobody was talking about playing for Scotland until he joined a second division (I realise it’s called the championship) English side, has he improved since he left Partick or is it a case of just because he’s playing well in England he must be better than what we’ve got to offer in our league?

Not a dig at yourself at all it just annoys me how everyone is so quick to devalue the players we have playing in this league.

Can't say I've followed him since he's went down south, although he has been linked with "big money" moves. How much, and to who I've no idea though. I think lower end prem teams though so is clearly doing something right
