"Nobody creates chances for Riordan, he creates them for himself and is fabulous as far as I'm concerned.
"He's the best finisher in the league. Obviously, being a season ticket holder at Hibs, I see a lot of him.
"Riordan is extra special as a finisher and is a good distance ahead of anyone else.
"But the biggest problem is that he's played out wide. I'd love to see Stokes and Riordan playing as the two centre forwards because their understanding together is fabulous."

Exactly why he should be in the Scotland squad. Dunno how such a natural talent keeps being overlooked. I'm not saying he is a starter but he is good enough to be involved in the squad for selection. By a mile.

Nevin's calling is as a pundit (and as a Hibs supporter) but NEVER EVER as a CEO or Manager!!:bye::bye:

Like the wee bit at the end regarding Riordan and Miller. :thumbsup:

Well, Pat's observation which is not dissimilar to thousands of other Hibs supporters, has really put the kibosh on it ever happening now. Yogi isn't the sort of guy to heed any of this type of 'suggestion'. He's too stubborn and will continue to 'know best'. That's what he gets paid for so it's his prerogative.................pity he's wrong unfortunately.:greengrin

Re: riordan in the scotland squad
I think his past attitude & lazyness problems have tarred him & nobody is willing to give him a chance. But scotland do need some more creative player in the squad, i looked at the team the other night & apart from Fletcher & McFadden their was very little goal scoring & creative ability there.
with Stokes & Riordan in our team we should be scoring for fun each week, every manager in the league would love to have them in their team!

That was exactly my thoughts last night when Boyd came on as a sub :agree:

He played up front under Mowbray, I know he would drift lift but it was always Deek and Oconner up top with Riordan drifting left but until his return I don't think he'd ever played left mid for Hibs in a 442.

Surely you can't expect the national manager to pick players outwith the Old Firm, Hearts and
Dundee United?
There are many more mediocre players to get into the squade before Levein would stoop to look
down Leith way.

Erm let me think, he played upfront under Blobby, Mowbray, Strachan at Celtic, Mixu played him upfront on his own, only Yogi has played him as a left midfielder, but has still put him upfront when needed. :greengrin

I can't recall him being played anywhere by Strachan.

Here's the article re: Riordan wanting to stay...

This bit made me laugh...

Hibernian forward Derek Riordan is open to extending his stay at Easter Road.

The 27-year-old forward has a year of his contract to run and when asked if he was looking to extend his terms, replied: "Aye, I'm happy here"

Just seems funny to see "Aye" in a Beeb article :faf:
