ian1964 10,761 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 FIVE Gers first teamers will join George Burley's Scotland squad for the international double header with Holland and Iceland at the end of the month. Kirk BroadfootThe Scots travel to Holland to face the group leaders on March 28 before returning to Glasgow to host Iceland at Hampden on April 1. Allan McGregor will once again vie with Craig Gordon for the starting spot between the sticks with four of his Ibrox team mates also hoping for a starting berth. Kenny Miller is expected to fill a lone striking role in Amsterdam with Barry Ferguson certain to captain the team against the Dutch. Davie Weir is again selected in the pool of defenders as he looks for his 64th cap for the national side. Kirk Broadfoot will face competition for the right back spot from returning former Ger Alan Hutton who is back in the squad after an injury hit period with Spurs. Broadfoot, who scored against Iceland on his international debut, could switch to left back if Hutton is recalled, with the pair lining up that way against Argentina in a Hampden friendly.

Gazza_8 233 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Midfield doesn't look very strong. If Fergie, Fletcher or Brown get injured we don't have a decent backup. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Five too many Is it not four too many, who've accidently turned up for a Scotland get together rather than a Eire squad? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 TBH, I'm more worried about our defence Nothing to worry about there. We've got Caldwell & McAnus. Sorted. Can't believe he's sticking with Iwelumo. And Walter Smith gets accused of favoritism & stubbornness? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Burley was just on TV there saying Brown was the best player in Scotland by miles He's also picked Gordon and Hutton despite saying he'd only pick players who were playing regularly. The man is a Grade A fud. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is a Grade A fud. It doesn't surprise me that he'd say that about Brown, despite it being utter garbage. He's not a bad player, but he's not the best in Scotland never mind by miles. Once again, Burley is looking not only like a fud, but a mhanky one at that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Obviously Burley is listening intently to the mhedia. Brown most certainly is not all he is cracked up to be. I still believe next season we will see a better player at Ibrox....... Kevin Thomson "Half the price, twice the player" 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
