Esson For Scotland

[Renegade]

haven't Tokely and Black been called up before?

Black played for the B team in Inverness a few years ago. Tokely for Scotland though Dont think Alan Hutton will be shaking in his boots!

Mabye Rossco played for the under-21s!

I think U19s highest Tokely ever got.

National Coach George Burley has named his squad for the forthcoming Scotland B match against Northern Ireland.

Goalkeepers

David Marshall (Norwich City)

Iain Turner (Everton on loan to Nottingham Forest)

Defenders

Darren Barr (Falkirk)

Scott Cuthbert (Celtic on loan to St Mirren)

Brian Easton (Hamilton Academical)

Steven Hammell (Motherwell)

Mark Reynolds (Motherwell)

Mark Wilson (Celtic)

Midfielders

Scott Arfield (Falkirk)

Barry Bannan (Aston Villa on loan to Derby County)

Craig Bryson (Kilmarnock)

Graham Dorrans (West Bromwich Albion)

Stephen Hughes (Motherwell)

Ross Wallace (Preston North End)

Forwards

David Clarkson (Motherwell)

Paul Gallacher (Blackburn Rovers on loan to Plymouth Argyle)

Steven Naismith (Rangers)

There's that Dorrans again. I reckon ICT should try to loan him in again in the close season.

no chance, by all accounts he is impressing at west brom and played very well in a couplle of games.

This selection is indeed good news for us!

The last thing we need is players taking their eye off the ball, so to speak or getting injured.

We or they, have a task to do, win by any means, total commitment required.

Scotland B cap would be a memento for their grand children to be excited about, but for us and them, it is survival this year, I'm afraid. Not so exciting in the scrap book but will make a difference in their bank balance next year.

The players must already be feeling the effects of this season - failure is so much more of a drain than being part of winning - the last thing they need is an extra game.

Lets hope they keep the energy levels up so that we can all celebrate at the Falkirk game.

Quite happy for all the players from the bottom six to be injured until the end of the season
