Surprised at Michael Devlin getting in since he couldn't cement a place in our first 11 in the latter part of the season.  No current (or prior) Huns either...

How on earth has Devlin made the squad :laughing:

 

And why has he called up 4 keepers?

Because the season is over, so if a few players pull out of the squad and he needs replacements, he might find they're currently under a table somewhere in Vegas or something.

 

That's why he's named a 27-man squad.

Surprised Hastie hasn't been called up. Is he injured?

He’s looked pretty poor last few months IMO. Jury still out on him as a player I’d say... had a purple patch at Motherwell, got a contract with the Huns... then went quiet. David Turnbulls omission was more surprising. Don’t think we’re good enough to turn our nose up at a player with that much ability... even if he is only 19.

Clarke hates the Huns as much as most of us do. I reckon he'll rarely pick their players.

Yet he tolerated Kris Boyd writing a Rangers column and urging them to strengthen even when Killie were neck and neck with them.

 

I think Clarke is a good manager but let's not lick his arse.

Imagine calling up in form players from the spfl, who actually want to play for their country, instead of giving automatic caps to any cunt who happens to be on the books of Celtic or Sevco. Someone better take Clarke aside and explain to him this isn't the way we do things here. Wee Jacko has been touted by Barry Ferguson after all.

Devlin deserved a cap in November 2018 so hopefully he can get one to fix that.

 

Absolute dog shit recently mind.

  

4 keepers is weird. Glad the rat isn’t in the squad. Barry Ferguson will be reeling after saying he’d be amazed if he wasn’t in.

Reckon a good few of them will pull out.

 

Will be interesting the pull out ratio of Shinnie when he is an Derby player.

Jack has been in much better form than Shinnie in fairness. Good on Clarke however.

There's no point in anyone losing their shit over Clarke's squad until he has a few competitive games under his belt. 

 

He may or may not be a decent manager, and doing well at Killie in a poor league for a couple of years is no real benchmark. 

 

He's probably an improvement on the last cunt, though.

It's certainly not concomitant with the role of Scotland manager
