That's the first time that I've heard any of the team mention a target of European football.

In my opinion, his performances this season should have him in the Scotland squad.

I think the club tend to change targets throughout the season I think they've seen our current league position and form and think Europe is a realistic target (It is). They done it in the Graham Alexander season and had planned the next season's budget based on making Europe which we nearly bottled.

As well as that Aberdeen seem to be going with a Tony Doch + Peter Leven management team to the end of the season so hopefully we can do the business against them in the next 2 games and finish their season off for them providing they don't end up in a relegation scrap.

My team to play them in the league.

Ward

Sparrow Mcghee Welsh Longelo

Preistman Watt

Maswanhise Slattery Just

Bjorgolfsson

Subs : Connely, SOD, Mcginn, Gordon, Halliday, Nicholson, RCC, Said then 1 of Mccolm/Mcallister.

I'd expect some rotation Fadinger is obviously suspended, Mcginn and SOD could probably do with a rest given their age playing 4 games in 10 days might take it of them. Longelo being the only LB at the club is going to put massive strain on him to. Bjorg deserves a start after his role in the equaliser on Wednesday.

He's been a top perfomer, no doubt. His challenge (other than Clarke sticks with his favourites), is that midfield is probably where we have most strength and depth. McGinn, Gannon Doak, McTominay etc, Not to mention Lennon Miller.

Would be great if he made it, though. For him, for the club, and for the transfer fee.

Is it a 25, 26 or 30 man squad for the world cup?

I'd say 18 are guaranteed to go providing they don't get injured

Gunn, Gordon,  Hickey, Hanley, Mckenna, Souttar, Tierney, Robertson, Gilmour, Mctominay, Ferguson, Christie, Mclean, Mcginn, Doak, Adams, Dykes, Shankland

That leaves us with 7, 8 or 12 slots depending on squad size and providing their aren't injuries. I'd be surprised to see Watt make the squad unless they're are lots of injuries in that area.

You only have one right back in there, time for Stephen O'Donnell to force his way back into Clarke's thoughts.

ye the 2nd RB is up for debate. Patterson, Mcrorie, Johnston, Ralston, Donovan will all be trying to get that spot, SOD i'd have in ahead of Ralston and Donovan anyway.

I'd have Willie Watson in before those two.
