He's gone for that.
John McGinn back in.
It's Ryan Christie that drops out.
What do you make of that team?
I think it was a toss-up between Ryan Christie and John McGinn.
It's a big call for Steve Clarke to make, but I don't think it's critical for Ryan Christie.
I think he'll play the next game.
I think they'll probably revert back to maybe a 4-3-3 and be a little bit more defensive, but they had to really go for it in this game against Haiti.
They need to go for two up front.
for me I don't mind it Ferguson had to play because he'll probably be the kind of defensive linchpin that keeps everyone together and lets them get a bit more attacking freedom and I think it's a very very positive team I just don't I don't think Christy can be too upset because he's got a big part to play in the next two

I think Craig Gordon probably struggled to get into the squad due to his fitness Angus Gunn's probably been a bit more regular in the team and
in terms of being available for his team sorry I know both of them haven't played a lot of football but he's probably been there to be picked a lot more than Craig Gordon has been this season and I think that probably just tips the favour on his balance for Steve Clark Steve Clark has also made a very deliberate point of saying that this is a squad tournament it's not about the starting eleven the people coming off the bench are just as important as the guys that are starting the game because you look at the humidity the heat
