ian1964 10,416 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 By Andrew Dickson BARRY FERGUSON will make his Scotland comeback against Argentina after being picked for this month's friendly with the South Americans. The Light Blues skipper is yet to play under new national manager George Burley and has missed the team's last six games. Barry FergusonBut after recovering from an ankle injury, he is back and likely to start in the meeting with Diego Maradona's side. Ferguson is one of four Ibrox stars included in a 26-man pool for the glamour friendly at Hampden Park. Kirk Broadfoot's rise in prominence continues as he keeps his place, along with Allan McGregor and Kenny Miller. But there is no place for David Weir, who is surprisingly left out of the group. Kris Boyd is also missing after his recent decision to stop playing for Burley. Rory Loy's month to remember keeps gathering pace and after making his Gers debut against Inverness, he is called into Scotland's under-21 squad for the first time. The young striker has scored eight goals in nine reserve outings this season and he could now face Northern Ireland at New Douglas Park next Tuesday. Joining him in the squad for that game is Steven Lennon. The forward, on loan at Partick, could make his sixth Scots appearance against the Province. A SQUAD: Goalkeepers Craig Gordon (Sunderland) ALLAN McGREGOR (RANGERS) David Marshall (Norwich City)Allan McGregor, Scotland Defenders Graham Alexander (Burnley) Darren Barr (Falkirk) Christophe Berra (Heart of Midlothian) KIRK BROADFOOT (RANGERS) Gary Caldwell (Celtic) Alan Hutton (Tottenham Hotspur) Jamie McAllister (Bristol City) Stephen McManus (Celtic) Gary Naysmith (Sheffield United) Midfielders Scott Brown (Celtic) Kris Commons (Derby County) BARRY FERGUSON (RANGERS) Darren Fletcher (Manchester United) Paul Hartley (Celtic) Shaun Maloney (Celtic) James Morrison (West Bromwich Albion) Barry Robson (Celtic) Forwards David Clarkson (Motherwell) Steven Fletcher (Hibernian) Chris Iwelumo (Wolverhampton W.)

Frankie 8,151 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 The more games for Barry just now the better. The less games for Weir the better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisabeer 409 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 sorry but there is no way he should be in that squad given his fitness. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,500 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I agree with Gisabear. Not fit enough to start for us yet so why should he be rushed back for Scotland in a meaningless friendly. International friendlies should be scrapped - all that ever happends is we get players injured or in Scotland's case our players usually get the blame if we get beat! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
