Well 'crunch time' will be imminent at the end of the week in a World Cup campaign that has not really inspired Scottish footie fans. We are inevitably gonna be eliminated AGAIN but I hope Strachan's team 'make a fist of it' and try to positively attack every remaining group match - lets finally see a semblance of improvement that can lift morale and eventually lead in to another Euro Championship campaign with some optimism. I think we have the players to beat Slovenia but whether they can achieve that initial goal is anybody's guess!

We need a win and I think we'll get it. True that qualification looks unlikely but we still have enough pride (I hope) to do ourselves justice in the remaining games to come. Let's not forget the one that comes after Sunday is ENGURLAND!

Wee Gogsy giving Sparky a start 'up front' and Kieron Tierney switched to RB with Robertson on the usual left flank. Clearly trying to field his best players and I hope it's his best line up to really 'have a go' v Slovenia who humiliated us in the reverse fixture! I still can't believe the SFA set a 7.45pm KO for this Sunday match - a lovely sunny afternoon that was perfect for the traditional KO time of 3.00pm - nuts!!

tierney is a good player but switching him to RB seems like a risky one.
Agree about the kick off time -bonkers.

Definitely a gamble Jim but he's that kinda fearless young player who will take up the challenge and prob deliver a performance. I notice the attendance will be about 25k and it just confirms lotsa fans have given up on this campaign and esp after that shambles of a 'bounce match' v Canada at ER!
