Filip Steparovic scored another 2 for Morton today

Agree it would have been difficult to change team that drew with Portugal. I am not a big christie fan, runs about a lot and loads of energy but no real product. I am big gilmour fan but his shooting was woeful. Gauld deserves a start but I doubt it will happen on Monday. And please don't start Dykes

Max supporting Doak on that right wing needs to happen sooner or later, although Hickey will likely be ahead of him in the pecking order once fit again.

Hanley and mclean were only playing because of their performances against Portugal I think Grizzly but think that will now be start of phase out. I think your harsh on christie his determination and workrate of the ball are up there with best in team plus he's tidy with it and he is getting played out of position .let's see him in his club position next to gilmour and he will thrive I feel. Ralston done well again last night and gilmour was good other than his shooting. Wee doak outstanding we have not had that in years where when he gets the ball their is excitement in crowd. I was disappointed with conway but his 1st start against top class defenders. Gauld impressed again and him and mcginn made big difference when on. Hope some of the takes from last night are having a wee re think today

It's probably about time you started calling it vintage.

Miller's shooting is of a higher quality than Gilmour. In fact tonight Miller would have been a better option. Dykes ahead of even a fat Shankland says it all about Clark.

I think we're forgetting sometimes that Lennon is only 18 but still has LOTS to learn. He's by far the best young prospect from the SPL and should be managed as an 18 year old not a 23/24 year old with loads of experience. I've always thought that Scotland should have some kind of development squad where players who are too old for the u19/21 but considered not quite ready for the full team or older players on the fringes off the full team could get game time and experience at full international level. It could provide a pathway from u21 to full team whereas just now it's a massive step up in one go.

David I agree that clarke can contradict himself however no manager is going to come out and say a player isn't gd enough so they have to say something to the press which is what he's doing. Your point on doak is not my view as no doubt if you are training with liverpool players every day and showing to be as good as them then that is worth a lot more than playing for motherwell in spfl. Plus without trying to sound too negative i have never saw miller dominate any game even other day for u19s he wasn't best on park. He has gd moments certainly. If he joins so called big league team and if he gets in their team then no doubt he will be in squad as he will be proving himself at a level similar to international football. If he joins a so called superclub I.e liverpool man city etc and is in and around 1st team again I would expect same for him as he will be up against elite players everyday Unless you are outstanding in spfl and even if you are then you are likely going to struggle against kovacic.modric.silva zielinski. Etc who are who he'd be up against in these matches I believe he can maybe get there but loads to do and as I say his next move is crucial

As I've said elsewhere, I'm not a massive fan of Clark, and I could have cracked his jaw if I had bumped into him in Germany in the Summer, but I'm a bit puzzled by your take on this, and others to be fair. Doak plays in a position that we are literally completely bereft of anyone playing at any sort of level, the fact that he signed for Liverpool suggests that he's a very exciting talent and the fact that he's ripping it up week in and out at Middlesbrough currently would back that up. At the time of Doaks selection, the convo would have been literally 'we need a bit of pace and width in the team, who have we got?' Doak and naebody else would have been the response...get him in and have a look. Miller plays in a position where we currently, literally do not need him, ahead of him are players that play in Serie A and the English Premier and Championship, players that aren't completely over the hill and players that the manager trusts, rightly or wrongly. Clarke will have watched Miller umpteen times and it's his job to decide if he adds something to his squad, and he clearly feels that at this moment he is right down the pecking order. Clarke uses the word 'hype'...could he mean 'over-hype' and he's not buying into the praise that's been heaped on young Lennon so far?

Yeah, but Max Johnston is "only" 20 years old. Probably just another of those young ones "that everybody wants to hype and push."
