The manager said before that McCausland had only trained with the first team 5 times before he joined the club. There has got to be a pathway, a transition, a bedding in - call it what you will for the youth players to the first team. Surely it must be much easier to play with guys you know and have a rapport with (especially as a young in experienced player) rather than being chucked in and expected to save our season. Agree 100% about throwing guys in (if they deserve it) at home games v St Johnstone or Ross County. The other thing no one talks about is the 5 subs. We are at home to St Johnstone or Ross County and 2-0 up at half time then bring on a few youngsters after 50-60 mins.

Aye its the 3rd one not the 1st the novelty wears off fast

Being linked with young man city right back Callum Doyle by randoms on twitter.

Gareth Southgate == Steve Clarke.

Daily Rhebel have updated their article to say Butland to be captain IF Tav leaves.. 🙄

I am sticking to my previous prediction that if tav goes McLean comes in and takes the arm band.

Not sure that’s right I think they get less. Maybe depends on the rules of the association the player goes to. For example we got Aribo for minimal cross border compensation but if he had joined another English club Charlton would have got about ten times the amount.

I think if you have a guy like Shankland then you play him. Quality isn't overly important - the most important thing is that you have a focal point and the team can work around deficiencies. I find it very difficult to believe any other forward we have could be less effective than Adams who looks like he won a raffle to play football. Shanklands movement in ten mins v Hungary was more than Adams had done in 3 games. Agree on the wingers thing, but when you have fullbacks like Robertson / Tierney / Hickey for the left or Patterson / Hickey on the right then you'd want the midfield to play narrow to give these guys space to run into.

Thats the spirit.

Wright wears us down at times to be fair. Done it in the cup final.

Seen a FF screenshot on twitter, CwoodLoyal says Danny Armstrong a target for us.

Budinauckas(22) was on loan at Stranraer last season, played lots of games. Jay Hogarth(20) is a good prospect and played the second half of the season at Dumbarton then Mason Munn (18) is also highly rated, turned down Arsenal last year (I believe). Decent pipeline of keepers in the Academy.

Steve Clifford said this morning on Ranger Review that Rae is staying on so is Brian Gilmour.

Wonder if we made a deal with Norwich and stepped away from the Panama defender to get a better deal for McLean..

Not sure that's true. We have some good players who play for Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal. Missing Hickey, Lewis Ferguson and Patterson was maybe a big blow but then again no guarantee Clarke would pick any of them.

Good, best for both he moves on.

I don't know, the likes of Doak at Liverpool, Watson at Killie, Miller at Motherwell, Rory Wilson at Villa are in with a good shout. Lewis Ferguson is still only mid twenties.

Id take him as long as its a low transfer fee

Absolutely bizarre post match xenophobia from a man who looks like he struggles with mental health or alcoholism. The SFA should do the decent thing and relieve him of his duties. FWIW i don't think it was a penalty, but if it was maybe we would have a better chance of winning if we actually tried to play football. Our xG for the entire tournament was non existent, we only scored with 2 OG's.

Mad how some of these rumours just dont go away.

It’s like getting a lobotomy watching Scotland.

I see a lot of people dunking on Kelly, but of you look at it he left us and had plenty of first team football and regular international call ups. He will replace McCrorie who is highly rated but hasn't really played any football. He had a loan spell in the lower levels at QoS and then the spell at Livi where he was dropped and couldn't get back in the team. Kelly is a good solid signing, club trained and captained Motherwell.

Quite like the look of this boy:
