Very underwhelming
Very strong midfield. But disappointing in defence. Hanley ffs no Souttar ? An opportunity to try some new CBs but seems the tried and failed of previous campaigns are still there. What IS the point ?
Up front only really McBurnie and Cummings. Two good options. Couldn’t Griffiths have been included ? Why the fook is Christie listed as a striker ? Matt Philips - really ?
Meh

I’m assuming it’s Ryan Fraser of Bournemouth and not Aberdeen as reported in DR
From this I’d expect to see
McGregor
Tierney. Martin. Mulgrew. Robertson
McTominay. McGinn
Forrest. Armstrong. Murphy
Cummings
Wouldn’t be too shabby
McLeish’s 1st Scotland Squad..

The worry is that people may think that McTominay may win us games on his own. He's not that type of player at all.
Hopefully he'll do a good job though.
Is there any word on captaincy?

Captaincy
If it isn't KT, then it probably comes down to Martin Mulgrew or Hanley

I think it'll be Tierney for captain.
His comments are certainly swaying towards it.

That is a pretty underwhelming selection
Struggled for years
get a new man in
and its the same squad again.
really should ditch everyone over 30 and try to develop for the future

How many uncapped players in the squad? Nine?
posted on 12/3/18
Hardly the same squad. Loads of Strachans players haven’t been picked such as Bannan, Anya, snoddy, Mcathur and Chris Martin.
Just a serious lack of striker options.

Tierney will most likely take over as captain from Brown in a year or two so it would make sense to make him Scotland captain.
