Would be great if England lose their games and all those English are in tears

of the starting line up really only Christie and O'donnell i thought shouldn't have been there.

I dont even think Marshall is 2nd best keeper in the squad but understand why he gets the nod.

Other managers make the harsh decisions though, look at wales. Hennessey had saved a penalty for them to qualify yet doesn't get in because manager makes the call.

This. You've got to pick your best players, loyalty shouldn't come into it at all. There simply aren't enough games in the group to get away with it, and this was our must-win. O'Donnell was only ever in the squad because we didn't have any other RB options - Patterson is there now and played more big games in half a season than O'Donnell has his entire career. Christie has had an awful season and is totally off form, so god knows on what basis he got into the starting lineup. Even team selection can't account for mad individual mistakes like Marshall being so far off his line for the second goal though.

Unfortunately mate, it's hard not to be loyal to the guys that got you there. We have an ex Killie manager as our boss. What do we expect. Also, with the team selection we are talking minimal margins between players. It's not clear and obvious

People talking about dropping Armstrong for Gilmour like he's Iniesta are insane

Marshall has been poor at Derby this season though.

Dont think he was getting a game towards the end.

Well we can rest in the knowledge that we didn’t boo our own players or the oppositions anthem.

You'll be booing your own on Friday.

I thought Scotland got it wrong straight from the off by playing Dykes as a false no9

It would have been good to have known that there was serious effort to tempt McGregor back to the national squad

Great game though, low quality but really enjoyable to watch.

Hope it's a cracker Friday night between us. Buzzing for it. We were pretty good against what I think I'd an excellent side in Croatia but Scotland are so difficult to play no matter what the difference in quality is between the two sides.

He should have been bedded in before our first major tournament in 23 years. But he wasn't so it was never going to happen. Its the same for every big game inexperienced player unfortunately

Nisbet has more to his game. The most important thing is his movement off the ball and running into the channels.

Based on his games against Motherwell etc. Not big games or international

Based on this game. He run more in 5 minutes than Dykes in 80 minutes.

I agree with that.

Guess most are inexperienced at that level so naturally the guys that got him there will get the nod, and rightly so.

Dykes and Adams might work as well in fairness.

I think we will sit back far more against England and Croatia. So we have the chance of maybe 3 points between the 2 games

England I'm afraid are generally underachievers and unless u can accept that u will never move on im afraid, lets be honest winners not just once but on many occasions at different tourneys across the globe are brazil, germany, France, Italy spain, etc, you always seem happy to win once and gloat on it forever, now for some people that may be successful but in my opinion winning once the next generations should want to surpass previous successes which in my opinion theres other countries have done and have done it away from home, anyway I couldnt give a monkeys about England, apologies im more imterseted in my own country so id prefer to move on, thanks.

Nisbet isn't good enough
