Scotland could really do worse than capping him.
The rate that he has improved since he joined is phenomenal.
Hes still a young guy too...with probably 10 years of football left in him.

As much as I love Boyle I don’t think you could pick him ahead of Forrest, Fraser, Phillips, Burke and maybe others that I’ve missed. Australia could pick him because their wingers are pish/non existent.
Boyle would need to consider that if he ever has a decision to make - he’s probably way more chance of a regular game for Australia than Scotland and if that’s what he wants then Australia is probably the team to commit to. If he’s happy with one or two caps for his home country then commit to Scotland.

In my opinion Boyle offers much more than the four you mention.
Forrest flatters to deceive. Phillips looks uninterested when he plays for Scotland. Fraser looks useful but similar player to Boyle imo. Burke is not as good as Boyle Full stop.

The one that’s not an opinion is Fraser, he’s streets ahead of Boyle and if your opinion differs from that then you’re wrong he’s scored about one in five in three seasons in the EPL and already has 4 in 7 this season. Boyle is nowhere near his level.

I’ll concede Fraser if you concede the other 3, deal?

Forrest was Celtic’s POY last year wasn’t he? Capped many times for Scotland and played and scored in champions league games . Boyle wouldn’t get a game for Celtic just now...
I’ve not really watched much of Phillips, but he has played a number of years in the top league in England..I can’t really see Boyle ever doing that tbh.
Burke looks stronger and more athletic than Boyle..yet Boyle has a dynamic nature about him that is different . Quite hard to compare the two tbh
Fraser is at a complete different performance level at this time ..
I feel your views are perhaps a bit Hibs tinted (nothing wrong with that!) he is indeed a joy to watch and what a difference since he first joined ..real credit to him and the coaching staff

I love Boyle. And I would love to see him play for Scotland. But if I had to call people up in his position then theres a few ahead of him sadly. He should choose Australia. He’ll get far more out of it than waiting for Scotland.
Also yes, Scotland are better than Australia. Making it to a World Cup doesn’t make you a great team. Especially considering who they play in qualifiers.

i think we would be daft not to play him in a friendly, not sure why he is compared to philips, every time philips plays for scotland he is played up front, burke is not a winger either so no point in comparing him either, fraser and forrest play in similar positions, fraser is a better player yes but it would be daft to suggest he is miles behind forrest, we need a decent squad of players going forward as a national team, if forrest or fraser are injured who is there to come in as a winger?
