Scotland team (official)

McGregor, Hutton, Caldwell, Berra, Bardsley, Naismith, Fletcher, Adam, Brown, Morrison, Miller.

Looks decent to me.

Broxy - Morrison isn't known for his attacking qualities either. He so obviously isn't a winger yet is expected to play wide right in a 4-5-1. The boy canny cross a ball!

Funny though that at the start Levein said he'd only pick players on form and not for their reputation. Well in that team he's picked Berra, Fletcher, Adam, Brown, Morrison and Miller on reputation and not form. Yet absolutely no sign of Conway even in the squad, who has 3 goals and 5 assists in 7 games! How could he possibly have been a worse call-up than James Forrest?

Levein needs sacked... Houston too!

What no Kris Commons?

Someone needs to tell Levein that Commons is miles better than Naismith. After all it is frequently stated as fact on here that Naismith wouldnt get in the Celtic team ahead of Commons.

Levein is clueless - he really should consult the 'experts' on 606 before picking his teams......

Caldwell has improved since moving down south I think. In particular I think he played well against Denmark recently. And seriously, what other choice do we have?

Totally agree though that Miller needs a partner, and where's Whittaker? He's not fantastic but he does a good job and isn't a total nutter like Hutton. Remember Hutton against Liechtenstien? Thought he was going to explode, veins popping out all over the place and looking angrier than Angry Anger McAngry discovering that his wife cheated on him with every other man in town. No need for that anywhere near the national team.

Goodwillie will hopefully come on. We'd better win this. Anyway, I gotta go, heading through to Weegieland tonight

Wouldn't disagree with you Hobo though to be fair Wolves have been fairly tight at the back this season so no complaints about Berra.

The only other option would be Wilson who can't even get a game for his club.

Morrison has also been one of our best players over the last few games so no complaints about him either but Fletcher, Brown n Miller stick in the throat.

They better have the games of their lives tomorrow!!

You're kidding right? Bar the (admittedly great) saving tackle he made he was useless. No pace, poor passing and lost his man time and again.

He seems to have poor to average games but then has one great moment that gets him a good review but if you actually watch him for 90 mins you see what a poor player he is. He has poor positional sense, no pace, tends to dive in and has poor distribution. Basically a poor centre half that should never have left Hibs.


Fletcher and Brown really shouldn't be playing. Brown simply isn't good enough and Fletcher can't be fit despite what Levein is saying. He hasn't played a competitive game in months. Whether he can run or not isn't the question, it's how rusty is he? Surely Dorrans or Bannan could have gotten the nod.

Not bothered about the lone striker, With Naismith in support he won't be isolated, we also have goal potential in Adam and Morrison.

No surprises from the bottler. I up top at home against a poor Czech side in a must win game. I really do despair at the lack of adventure sometimes. Levein is just a reactionary manager. Never prepared to send a team out to win a game from the 1st whistle. More concerned about what the opposition line-up is and to try and stop them playing. For once we have a great squad. But it's being let down by a small-time, small-minded manager. Guys from Liverpool, Man U, Villa, Wigan, Wolves, Sunderland...manage by a DU manager...who has never won anything or tasted success. You couldnt make it up. His whole inferiority is written over his tactics. Charlie Adam in the space between defence and midfield. A guy that scored 18 goals for Blackpool. Why would anyone play him in a position that doesn't exploit his goal threat ? I could go on but Im sick to the back teeth. I pray we win tomorrow. But it will be because of the quality of the players and despite the tactics and formation employed by the manager
