Big Ecks first games back in charge
The obvious
* No Bannan, MaCarthur, Fletcher, Martin, Berra etc who failed many times although the main worries are them coming back for the real qualifiers
* Eight uncapped players
* Any player coming from the SPL must be pish (given the number of ex SPL in the EPL and championship)
* Scotland no longer have Daglish, McGrain, Johnstone, Baxter, Souness, Bremner, Gilzean, Mackay, Buchan, Burns, Leighton, Robertson, Wark, Law or William Wallace thus worse than the Maldive Islands
Goalkeepers: Jordan Archer (Millwall), Allan McGregor (Hull City) Jon McLaughlin (Hearts)
Defenders: Barry Douglas (Wolves), Grant Hanley (Norwich City), Russell Martin (Norwich City, on loan at Rangers), Scott McKenna (Aberdeen), Charlie Mulgrew (Blackburn Rovers), Callum Paterson (Cardiff City), Andrew Robertson (Liverpool), Kieran Tierney (Celtic).
Midfielders: Stuart Armstrong (Celtic), James Forrest (Celtic), Tom Cairney (Fulham), Ryan Fraser (Bournemouth), Kevin McDonald (Fulham), Kenny McLean (Aberdeen), Dylan McGeouch (Hibernian). John McGinn (Hibernian), Callum McGregor (Celtic), Scott McTominay (Manchester United), Jamie Murphy (Brighton & Hove Albion, on loan at Rangers), Matt Ritchie (Newcastle United), Ryan Christie (Celtic, on loan at Aberdeen)
Forwards: Oli McBurnie (Swansea City, on loan at Barnsley), Jason Cummings (Nottingham Forest, on loan at Rangers), Matt Phillips (West Bromwich Albion)
For me it`s a great squad and a huge step forward, hopefully see Barry Mckay, Souttar, Shinnie in squads going forward, just up to the manager to get the best from what he has (Read Iceland)
