This might be unpopular on here, but I dont actually think Kelly is an international class goalkeeper.
And before we get into the semantics of what that actually means, I do think he is probably the best alternative to Gordon we have right now that is available for selection.
For that reason alone, I agree he should at least have got the second half so his first cap isnt when he is being thrown in during a vital qualifier if Gordon is injured.
But lets not kid ourselves. Kelly is a good shotstopper. But he isnt tall enough, doesnt command the 6 yard box and his distribution is rank. Very good keeper at our level and Im delighted to have him at Motherwell, but he is likely to be exposed playing for Scotland.
Marshall (and dare I say McGregor) are still both better keepers so saying Stevie Clarke would bring Marshall back if he could shouldnt really be a surprise, I would too. But they have both retired, so on that basis Kelly should have got game time last night.
I do hope for the national teams sake though, that Craig Gordon can go on for some time yet.
