They are poor at the moment. No way are they going to beat us 4 nil

I feel that we have a chance to take 3 points from this one. I would have been much more confident if we didn't have the ridiculous injury list, but I am still hopeful for at least 1 point and wouldn't be surprised if we take all 3.

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.

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.

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

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 rhe 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.

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).

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.
