I don't know if we have done this before or not, but select your ideal Scottish squad. 23 players required, add some comments after your selections, feel free to comment on other squads. It would also be good if you posted the starting XI.

Goalkeepers: Craig Gordon (Hearts), David Marshall (Celtic), Roddy McKenzie (Livingston)

Defenders: Gary Naysmith (Everton), Ian Murray (Hibernian), David McNamee (Livingston), Jackie McNamara (Celtic), Christian Dailly (West Ham), Steven Pressley (Hearts), Andy Webster (Hearts), David Weir (Everton)

Midfielders: Darren Fletcher (Man Utd), Nigel Quashie (Southampton), Barry Ferguson (Rangers), Burton O'Brien (Livingston), Paul Hartley (Hearts), James McFadden (Everton)

Forwards: Paul Dickov (Blackburn Rovers), Kenny Miller (Wolves), Garry O’Connor (Hibernian), Crawford (Dundee United), Steven Thompson (Rangers), Derek Riordan (Hibs)


.....................McKenzie
.....McNamara Weir Pressley Naysmith
.......................Dailly
........Fletcher............Quashie
....................McFadden
................Dickov O'Connor


Basically I don't rate either young keeper because they are too prone to errors. All of the older options are also inconsistant, but I have been very impressed with McKenzie over the last 2 years. He would add some experience, while the younger keepers are being blooded in. The back line is strong and the full-backs would be able to push forward if required. Dailly sits back and protects the back four. Fletcher and Quashie patrol the midfield. McFadden has a free role.

I say is with kindness but what a shower :D Though the Everton lads (though not McFadden) have been good this season.

McFadden tends to be our key player and is superb for the NT. Hell, I even called for him to be considered a potential replacement for Giggs. :D

There is talent coming through, but I feel it is too early to throw them into the mix. This is a halfway house squad. However, I would be more than happy to see my starting XI in operation. :cool:

He was good, but then he made the mistake of moving to the Old Firm, where his career has now stalled. :rolleyes:
