This is our marker for the league title 😁😜

I hear you and to correct myself I was completely wrong about 3x wages . More like and extra 3k per week on top of the 8k . suppose he’ll get a large sign on fee and perhaps the club wanted to punt him for an easy few million .

I've got the fear , especially as they dropped points last week and Welsh is out of squad for this one. They will go all out for this from the start. Hopefully we can hold out defensively and take our chance when we get it. Needed loads of those chances previously to score just one goal so looking ominous. Hope I'm talking shite again , they are knackered from the European game and we get a point.

He has also had many good games. In any case, he wont play, as Hickey is fit, playing first team football and by far the no.1 choice. We dont need 2 back ups.

Triple might just about persuade me 😎 Living abroad and learning a second language well enough to get by isn't for everyone, so if he's happier nearer his family and not having any more German homework, then that's up to him I suppose.

Must be just me then. If I was getting £8,000 per week to play football in a beautiful town like Graz, I'd be happy for the rest of my life. Double or triple wages wouldn't persuade me to live in England.

I am not attending but had a look and it only seems to be offering the restricted view seats. Look again tomorrow.

think he's getting paid 2-3x the money - hard to argue with tbf.

Also.... Max is at Derby County, so there's that. What was he thinking in taking such a big backwards step in his career? I hope it's not just down to money. I suppose we'll see first hand this weekend just how much better Ralston is.

No doubt, but if Johnston had played the same way for Motherwell as he did in his last Scotland game, we'd have been thinking about dropping him too. He's not been great at Derby either, from the games I have seen. Hopefully he'll regain his form soon, once he's settled in to his new team.

Ralston has had many bad games for Scotland.

Have I missed something or is the away end sold out for this game? Not showing any options to purchase on the website.

Johnston did himself no favours in his last appearance. He was very poor.

No max Johnston but ralston in the squad , Clarke really is a fud.

I’m no fan of shankland but he’s scoring goals as is Conway. These two should be in. Strikers are a different breed to other players in different areas of the park. If they are on form they should be in. Anyway…. I’ll try and forget kenny Maclean, ralston and dykes and stick to Motherwell v Celtic

Another predictable Scotland squad. How Kenny McLean or dykes get international caps is a mystery. Burke just scored hat trick in bundis league and has pace, however Dykes still gets place and is a carthorse.

Im exactly the same, it didn’t bother me in the slightest before our players started getting selected 🤣 it’s a nightmare now. and we are forced to watch Steve Clarke play his “lump the ball to Lyndon” tactics. Culminating in a failure to qualify for a World Cup. It’s an altogether crappy pointless week off from the SPL.

It would certainly raise legitimate questions about why he isn’t able to feature for us (in what would be three games in a row if he isn’t involved on Saturday) yet can be picked for his National side. For now though we can assume that he is now back fit and will be in the squad for the game v. Celtic. On a side note I fucking detest international football and these breaks during a season are an absolute nuisance.

At least if called up the games are in Europe so no silly distances travelled. Friendly games as well so if he plays he can be used sparingly as coming back from injury. Might actually benefit us. It's only the likes of Scott Gemmill that ignores Club wishes and fields players no matter what the Clubs say. ( Bowie of Hibs as an example....out for months immediately after returning from injury).

NZ friendly away to Poland Thursday week

Not sure how it works with international set ups any more. It used to be a FIFA rule that the player called up had to attend the camp and be assessed by the countries medical team to see if they were fit before they could withdraw. I dont know if thats still the case, although Im sure there must still be discussions with the clubs over injuries before a player is even selected. I know that Scotland are a bit more flexible these days and work more on trust and goodwill, so not sure if the rule has changed. Either way, I dont see a scenario where Just isnt available for Sunday and plays midweek. It will be all or nothing. The club would be mad to allow otherwise.

We are not getting beat in this game. 2-1 to the Mighty

Good your back. Positivity needed. We are unbeaten and got as good chance as any of beating them at Park head. Will take a draw.

I see Just has been called up for the 2 international games by NZ? If he’s not in the squad this weekend and goes on international duty I’ll flip.

Where did it all go wrong Texan? 😆
