Scotland will struggle to have 23 good players to fill a squad, never mind 26.

Does Scotland have 26 players?

The rate we’re losing right backs at there’s every chance.

 

[Henry Hill]

There will be some terrible terrible players in the squads

Ralston. Nothing surer

Considering the two players in front of them are both injured and most likely will both miss the tournament, I think its a certainty they’re in the squad. Even before the expansion to 26.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Did Liam Palmer and Clarke have a following out or did he just realise he was crap?

Can't be any worse than O'Donnell.

Tierney will probably end up playing there, assuming he stays fit.

Ralston will be in but there's not a chance O'Donnell will be in the squad. If neither Hickey or Patterson make it, it'll be Max Johnston or Ross McCrorie.

This change benefits the bigger countries but not us - suspect Clarke will use it to take Greg Taylor, an extra centre back and an extra midfielder, none of whom will really help provide more squad options

This is the time to convince him otherwise it's never happening.

Wonder if this confirms a spot for Butland with England given the uncertainty with injury surrounding the other keepers.

 

[GSRFC]

Clarke will be able to fit quite a few keepers into that squad now.

 

[jdm1873]

Ralston. Nothing surer

Its a cert he will be included. Doesn't play for that mob but will definitely go to the euros

 

[BlueLedbetter]

Tino Livramento

Got to ask the question at least

Howe confirmed Pope is running out of time to prove fitness in remaining EPL fixtures. Paired with increased squad size Butland still has a chance IMO

 

[The Ghost of Love]

Will still only have 2 strikers

The increased squad size will have no bearing for Butland. They’ll take 3 keepers regardless of whether it’s 23 or 26.

Tosh McKinlay is sitting next to his phone in anticipation.

 

[Boldvale]

Takes the pressure off Ryan Jack to prove his fitness.

 

[I believe in Eli]

Some countries will use that as a chance to include a couple of promising young payers. Alky Clarke I'll see it as an opportunity to squeeze in some of his favoured tims like O'Donnell and Taylor.

 

[Hipster Dashie]

This is another advantage to the bigger nations. For us just means three more squad fillers.

 

[bleau]

Clarke will take 4 keepers
