Clarke announces his latest World Cup squad selection - 0762 - 02-11-2021

Dykes and Christie miss the Moldova match. Stoke City's striker, Jacob Brown, given his first call up and excited too. I can't believe Clarke has given Nisbet the "nod" as the striker is currently nowhere near the standard we need for this crucial fixture in Moldova. I think Clarke must have a serious rethink on team selection after observing the unimpressive incidents that unfolded in the Faroes and some worrying signs that this Scotland team could well "flounder" in this match if they don't recognise the huge importance of a final victory in the World Cup group and ultimately "show up".

Don't know anything about him, hopefully he can come in and do a job for us as i reckon Moldova could be a tricky tie.

An excellent 2-0 win away from home, Mcginn and Patterson having very good games down the right, Adams working his socks off and should have had more than one.... and to cap it off a PK save from Craig Gordon followed up by a goal saving tackle from Tierney.
Into the play offs we go. Getting something against Denmark might make the difference with the seeding but its very much a case of "job done".
Well done Stevie and the boys !!

Aye! Well done Scotland and it would be good if we picked up a point to give us that seeding place and home draw in the play-off game in March 2022. But Denmark will be a difficult team to beat or even draw with. I'm hoping their manager will play a weaker team than normal (won the group and deservedly so!) although it will still be tough. A hard fought out 0-0 draw is my prediction. It's all down to the luck of the draw on 26 November. Fingers crossed we don't pull a "big fish" from that draw.
