I'm starting to get excited about this. It mind sound ridiculous but if there's even a glimmer of hope of Scotland qualifying then i'll be right up for it. Here's my stupidly optimistic gung-ho team:

---------------------GORDON----------------------

HUTTON----MCMANUS-----WEIR-----WHITTAKER

MALONEY----BROWN-----FLETCHER---MCFADDEN

---------------MILLER-------FLETCHER------------

I believe that these are the best 11 players in the squad but obviously that team's a bit top heavy. Burley's more likely to go with something like this:

---------------------GORDON----------------------

HUTTON-----MCMANUS-----WEIR-----DAVIDSON

--------------------ALEXANDER---------------------

BROWN------------FLETCHER----------MALONEY

--------------------MCFADDEN--------------------

----------------------MILLER------------------------

Prediction: 4-1 Scotland

A bit optomistic don't you think?

Starting 11 has been announced.....

Looks like a decent line up.

Prediction: 2-1 Scotland

4-3-3

Scotland starting XI: (4-3-3) Gordon, Hutton, Davidson, Weir, McManus, Alexander, Brown, D. Fletcher, McFadden, Miller, S Fletcher

Would have rather had Whittaker at LB and Hartley in the holding midfielder role instead of Alexander but apart from that it looks like a decent line up.

Alexander and McManus :( I fear for our chances .

Well it was either McManus or Darren Barr

McAnus hasn't played this season , so much for Burley only picking players that were playing for their club

Berra?

:( Just noticed DC's pronounciation of McManus.

Was sent back to England with flu

I hope Scotland get pumped today.

I also think they will get pumped today.

I also think they will get pumped today.

Why ?

I hope Scotland get pumped today.

I also think they will get pumped today.

Why ?

There are a few reasons.

1. The ridiculas way in which football in this country is run.

2. The quite incredible selection policy that the managers, past and present, have.

3. The utter embarrassment that is the TA.

My prediction is Glasgow Scotland 0 - 3 FYR Macedonia

F*ck off and follow England then :D

I support the rest of the home nations and wish them well in every game they play. :D

1 nil :D
