Concerned at lack of Scots in our squad?

I don't really get why European teams like to get international players all over their leagues... I mean 4 or 5 per team is enough but as Inter which won Champions with 11 non-italians.... how can an Italian be proud of that?

I was thinking the same, how does Scotland ever wants to get again to a WC with your teams filled with non-Scots? Maybe the WC is not important yo you.... or who knows!!!

In Mexico we want no more than 3 foreigners per team and lots of chances for U20 mexican players... for us the WC is everything... clubs are second priority.... we are so different....

 

Great shout

Hate to say it but so was scott brown

 

After tonight I am quite happy the Scotland team is full of huns ha and no us

 

ha your best in ages hammerlol

 

If we can manage to provide some Scottish talent then that's a bonus. As long we have decent quality players giving it 100% for the cause, then that's all we can ask for - regardless of their nationality.

 

I agree about Forrest, he clearly has massive potential. Really hope he can keep on improving and become the player he could be.

 

I really hope the Celtic fans don't go over the top too soon about James Forrest. He's shown signs of potential so far but let's not put too much expectation on his shoulders. At this moment in time I would say Forrest looks no better than Maloney and McGeady did when they first broke into the team.

I hope Forrest will develop to the point where he is a better player than Maloney or McGeady but it's still very early days and only time will tell. I expect nothing of Forrest at the moment and am just taking every good performance he has as a nice little bonus.

 

good sensible analysis i hope he becomes the star that we all want him to be

Like another poster wrote"maybe I'm older than some", likewise myself.

* football, I remember when Scotland bred the best joiners,plasterers,ship builders,engineers,bricklayers,slaters,nurses,doctors,teachers of all of the above.
What happened?

 

Second reply to this and the 2 scotland games which have just taken place did nothing but back up my original thoughts and feelings, with one notable addendum. We actually have too many! Of the Scots playing full internationals in the past few days, please take Brown, anywhere and leave him there! Top form Maloney, no problem. Top form Forest, no problem, although well worth noting that time should be afforded here! But those two weren't playing! Scotland players for Celtic? Ha!

 

And it goes back to what?
In the days of Kenny,Danny,Paul, and before them Jinky,Bertie,Billy and so on playing out in the street or playing heidy fitba in the back close, and when the rain went off playing with the midden as the goal, and low and be hold your mammy calling your name as a jam piece came flying oot the windae for your lunch, and your mammy calling you to go for your dinner and you hiding, knowing you'll get a hiding when you get home, but we were down 2 goals, get into them.
To see the amount of world class footballers and boxers who came out of that period of time in Scotland tells me that hunger bred champions.
Just my opinion.

 

call centres

 

After being at the game last night and watching them play, I would rather not have more Scots in my team. Except James Morrison Sign him up Lenny.
