With the last competitive games now played.. I haven't seen this posted elsewhere - So thought i'd share what I think Clarke's potential 23-man squad for the Euro's might look like.
What do you think?
GK
Marshall
Gordon
McLaughlin
DF
O'Donnell
Hanley
Tierney
Robertson
Hendry
Cooper
McKenna
MF
McTominay
McGinn
McGregor
Jack
Armstrong
McLean
Christie
Forrest
Fraser
AT
Dykes
Adams
Nisbet
McBurnie
Back ups
Kelly
Palmer
Porteous
Gallagher
Considine
Taylor
Turnbull
Fleck
Griffiths
Shankland
Take out Gallagher for Forrest and that's the team.
Apparently UEFA are looking to increase squads to 25 or 26 players.
Just been announced it is 25 man squadsQuote:

Is there any young goalies that could go to get some experience? The 3 obvious ones won’t be around forever - who’s next?
Gilmour
Doesn’t even play for his club side on a regular basis, but a big talentQuote:

Don't think Hendry and Mckenna are guaranteed yet.
Kevin needs to keep scoring for us, made more positive runs into good positions than Dykes did last night.
A half fit disinterested Griffith is still far more likely to contribute imo than McBurnieQuote:

I’d actually have Gallagher promoted to the squad based on what I’ve seen from him for Scotland. But then he’ll need to be playing games again between now and June.Quote:

I don't think this is the best Scotland squad of all time but I do have high hopes that we could finally break our Group Stage hoodoo. Two games at Hampden is massive! The Czech's and the Croat's are decent but at home I don't think we will loose either, win one and that could be enough for 2nd place.....worst case scenario it would be one of the best 3rd place finishers.
There is a bit of me though that has this wee inkling that we could scare the living daylights out of England....not the best squad but not that bad either, could be a classic.
Wales winning one game 2 nil in 2016 was enough to out them through in 3rd place. They then got a decent tie against N. Ireland in the last 16.Quote:
