I stated earlier in the week that Gordon Strachan was wrong to state that Scotland’s game against Lithuania wasn’t a ‘must win’ fixture. Last night the Tartan Army support watched their team play without much in the way of urgency and any real cutting edge. The Scotland team started the game like it wasn’t a […]

Let me take you back to the summer of 1998, the tenth of June to be precise. It was the opening day of the World Cup in France. Scotland walked out alongside 94′ champs Brazil, the sun was shining and the fans were singing. I had managed to dog (skip) school and eagerly awaited the […]

Today Scotland captain Scott Brown announced his retirement from international football. Many pundits and punters are morning his loss to our international squad. I met the news with apathy.

  It is funny the games that you remember. England versus Scotland was the first ever international fixture and I’d heard so much about the annual series of matches between the Auld Enemy. But alas that yearly game ended in 1989, just as I was getting into football. Then Scotland qualified for the European Championships […]

Watching Celtic captain Scott Brown struggle to cover the Hampden pitch against Rangers earlier in the month I started to think that he’d morphed into Barry Ferguson, during the former Gers captain’s later years. Both midfielders would talk a good game beforehand, would show passion through gritted teeth and would shout their heads off as […]

  I was surprised that Gordon Strachan didn’t select Rangers youngster Barrie McKay for either of Scotland’s friendlies last month. Since the turn of the year I’ve said, on here and on twitter, that I thought the winger was ready to take his place in Scotland’s senior squad. Alas Strachan felt uninspiring Celtic wide-man James Forrest […]

When Gordon Strachan announced his two Scotland squads last week that will face two international friendlies later this month many eyebrows were raised by the fact that no Rangers players were included in either squad. The biggest omission seems to be left-back Lee Wallace. Anyone who was watched the Gers captain this season will tell […]

Defenders: Christophe Berra (Ipswich Town), Gordon Greer (Brighton), Alan Hutton (Aston Villa), Russell […]
