I'm never optimistic before Scotland games and this is no different - they're going to sit in and play very conservatively, and we'll go hell for leather at them, leaving space behind us.
They're fast, and they'll pick us off on the counter.
Would love to be wrong, but another glorious failure awaits IMO.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

I think this will all end in our usual glorious failure but it would be nice if they could at least win tonight, for the 50k fans that are making the effort to go.

There’s no glorious failure this time, just failure if we don’t win. I’m kinda optimistic for some reason today though 😎

I’d love ya to at least be in the mix come Sunday.
Heading over to Slovenia tomorrow from Gatwick.
Can’t wait. Hopefully it won’t be for a friendly.

Bit of a blow not having Brown, Armstrong and Ritchie especially as we were building a bit of momentum.

One of my mates is going to the game and said he'd read something about Bannen playing. Don't really rate him at all, and how he gets in instead of McGregor or McGinn is a bit of a mystery to me, except that Strachan does seem to have his favourites.

I'm hoping he starts with McGregor in the middle - in the absence of Brown, he provides some real composure, swift feet and a good ability to pick a pass. He's an exceptional young talent with Champions League experience, and would be well deserving of his opportunity.

"Bannan has drawn much praise of late. Lee Johnson, the Bristol City manager, said that if he could sign one player from a Championship rival, he'd pick Bannan. Thomas Christiansen, manager of Leeds, said that his team had made plans for Bannan ahead of last weekend's meeting in Sheffield. "We spoke about Bannan being a key player we had to stop, but we were not able to do it," he revealed. Wednesday won 3-0. The Scot was outstanding."
Thats pretty high praise......not sure who else in the squad would get the same attention.

Whenever he gets on for Scotland, he just doesn't show the same level of performance, a bit like Chris Martin.
You start to look at the likes of McGinn, who impressed when he played against Denmark, and McGregor, who has become a very accomplished player for Celtic.

This might be a long shot but I’m with the family in Orlando Florida. Does anyone know a bar that might be showing the game? Every bar I’ve called doesn’t have espn3

Either the Irish Bar on international drive, or there used to be a small bar down on the 192 that showed the Scotland games.

McGinn has played a handful of International matches and looked the part.
Bannan has played dozens and never really looked good enough to play at that level, even if he does look the part against Brentford or Rotherham.

Think Strachan will start Fletcher and Morrison to take the places of Armstrong and Brown but really hoping McGinn gets the nod!

He's experienced at U21 level.
He's played in derbies, cup semis and cup finals for us, as well as being involved in Championship campaigns with little margin for error when you're expected to win every week.
John McGinn isn't an inexperienced wee laddie. He's already packed a lot into a career.
