Guarantee you Brown/Griffiths/Armstrong/Teirney pull out with an "injury", too many champions leagues games for them to risk injury.

 

Good for Shinnie and Christie getting in and well deserved.

 

A potential centre midfield 3 of Jack, McLean and McGinn screams light weight in the SPL never mind in international football.

 

Who even picked that squad?

 

Hope Jack gets booed.

I’ve derided the fact that Dons players are constantly overlooked when it comes to Internationals so can’t really be upset about the fact 3 have been called up. Undoubtedly the fact it’s being played at Pittodrie has something to do with it but I’m sure the players are delighted and hopefully they get a chance to prove they belong at that level. Good to see some of Strachan’s deadwood have been overlooked this time, although still some headscratchers in there. Watched Mulgrew at the weekend, did ok but can’t escape the fact this was League 1 football and the standard is pretty dire mostly.

A few folk have said and did say before the squad was announced that some Aberdeen players would feature due to the fact the game is to be played at Pittodrie. What's the thinking there? They'll play better since it's a 'home' game? Save the SFA a few quid on hotel rooms? Just not really sure why it would come into the manager's thinking. Pretty decent chance that Shinnie, Kenny and Christie would be in this squad if the game was at Hampden, wouldn't there?

One Tim, One almost certain Hun, and a guy that's been deliberately overlooked because he plays in a red shirt.

 

Quite the bone Aberdonians are being thrown here.

 

I also notice Mulgrew's in the squad again, so presumably Shinnie will get a few minutes near the end if he's incredibly lucky, or if Mulgrew trips and breaks his neck.
