Malky McKay to Ross County, quite an interesting move.

I heard that the starting 11 players of St Johnstone were all Scottish born.
Not sure if that is true, if it is, that is quite something.

I wonder when the last time any other European football country team won their cup with all home born players.

Not just the Scottish Cup, an all Scottish born team played all of this year‘s League Cup Final.

Howe turns down Celtic move.
After all the delays that is hardly a surprise.
He seems shy at taking on the big jobs.
I wonder where he will end up, somewhere like Fulham, Swansea or Birmingham I would imagine.

Watched the highlights of the Scots game last night.
Decent game, crazy last minute foul leading to the Holland goal. The Dutch attacker lost his balance and fell backwards into the Scots defender.
Cooper did well, looks like we have found our third central defender.
Happy with the team, we have a bit of strength in depth now.

Yes I thought we actually looked half decent, with some threatening attacking play as well as pretty solid defensively. The ’foul’ for the free kick at the end was a complete nonsense...but I guess part of the learning is where and when you can risk going tight given likelihood of opponent suffering a dose of the ‘dropsies’ in your presence and any propensity a ref might have to awarding such things.

I think we have good options in defence and a threat going forward with, Hendry, Turnbull, Forrest, Patterson, Cooper, Gallagher, Robertson and Tierney.
midfield , Mc Ginn, Christie, Mc Gregor, Gilmour, all look decent.
Keepers are all decent.
Strikers , Sadly I think we're struggling in this department :cry:

Che Adams going to be our striking trump card...I hope.

Predictions...

Much as I would love Scotland to win tonight I think England are too strong and the defence might not cope with the attack.

3-1 England for me.

Watching with my g/friends lad...he and his family are fervent England supporters...I am not really looking to this...well I am...but I’m not...Mrs and daughter are both with England - though my Mrs kinda would like Scotland to win as I’ll be miserable when we lose 3-0. ????????????????????????????
