Laudbertz 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Neil Alexander (Cardiff City) Craig Gordon (Hearts) Graeme Smith (Motherwell) Graham Alexander (Preston North End) Russell Anderson (Aberdeen) Gary Caldwell (Celtic) Steven Caldwell (Sunderland) Christian Dailly (West Ham United) Jackie McNamara (Wolves) Graeme Murty (Reading) Gary Naysmith (Everton) Robbie Neilson (Hearts) Steven Pressley (Hearts) Andy Webster (Hearts) David Weir (Everton) Barry Ferguson (Rangers) Darren Fletcher (Manchester United) Paul Hartley (Hearts) Neil McCann (Hearts) Lee McCulloch (Wigan Athletic) Ian Murray (Rangers) Nigel Quashie (West Bromwich Albion) Scott Severin (Aberdeen) Gary Teale (Wigan Athletic) Chris Burke (Rangers) Kris Boyd (Rangers) Shaun Maloney (Celtic) James McFadden (Everton) Kenny Miller (Celtic) Garry O'Connor (Lokomotiv Moscow) The squad is seemingly just for a preperations session for Euro 2008 qualifiers, but still i expected to see Steve Smith in there, considering who's made it into the squad ahead of him! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Smith is in the U-21 Euro qualifier squad - every chance Walter Smith felt it better he actually was playing as opposed to meeting the squad for a 2 day get-together..... however, flip-side to that theory is that I think the above squad will be what Walter Smith selects for the upcoming qualifiers - and in defence there are definitely poorer players than Stevie Smith in there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 No David Marshall, no Stephen Mc<anus - Is Walter making a point? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Is that an official squad or just one made up by you Chris? I though McNamara retired from int football. But agree its not a bad looking list at all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Read it today too Gribz. Very suprised about McNamara I think he must be getting on anyway, isnt he about 33? Its a pity coz he has been a good pick for RB over the last few years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 now that stevie smith is our first choice left back, he`ll also be scotlands in the next squad list. Yeah, he is the perfect long term replacement for Naysmith. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 If someone is good enough for the full squad but qualifies for u21 team, then I'd rather they played in the u21 qualifier than go to some get together. Gives the u21's more chance of qualifying. There's plenty of time for Smith to get into the full team when he's over 21 and picked up some more experience in the SPL, Europe and u21 internationals. He's only really had half a season for Rangers, and look at the way Hutton's development has stalled. I think Naismith can do a job for us in the meantime, after all he does play in the EPL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'd have left our Dailly and brought in McManus. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
