Brian Graham

Absolutely delighted.

I was in every single group chat.

We had an Arsenal group chat as well.

She had a...

Team cool.

They were going to the parade, but I'll be away.

No I think if Steve Clarke's looking at it and listen Craig Gordon I imagine is going to start and Angus Gunn's going to be second choice regardless of who the third choice was I think then you start to look at things more than just the appearances that people have made I agree with Brian Scott Bain will feel hard done by 100% he's always done well when he's played for Scotland obviously in the game that he played down the road and he got his opportunity and listen it's one of those things as you said you're kind of arguing about the third choice goalkeeper in terms of

Sean's point about the 8th oldest I think if it's a league campaign you're playing 38 games I think it's very very different I think in obviously World Cup you've got the three group stages and however far you go after that I don't think it's a huge problem if I'm honest Gordon What older players would you swap out for younger players Sean to bring your age down?

Yeah, that surprised me.

I was thinking like maybe three or four.

So to say 10, that's a big turnover.

factually incorrect now maybe it's not enough to maybe some people want it to be turned over more than it does that's fine maybe people want that number to be 12 or 15 i don't know yeah but also these boys have been involved in the qualifiers as well so you know so you get to a major tournament people want a massive turnover these boys have you know helped scotland qualify for the world cup you spoke about steve clark wanting that club mentality when you're in hotels all these things are really important as well to make sure everyone's on the same wavelength

everyone gets along everyone's professional in terms of what you're asking them to do these are massive things you're going away to america for you know four weeks hopefully from scotland's point of view it'll be even longer than that so you need to have people in and around it that you know we're going to have a good blend a good professionalism about them you want a bit of banter in there as well so these things are also important um you've got people like you know graham at dundee i imagine will start to come to scotland squad barney stuart will start to come to the scotland squad doy josh doig will start to come to the scotland squad but

I wouldn't have put these boys into the World Cup now, but the next World Cup when it comes around in four years' time, I imagine these boys will be a part of it as well, like you said with Lennon Miller.

So that's four or five younger players there that I think will be ready for the next World Cup in four years' time.

having to be having to take that extra one because you're taking three left backs no exactly right so it tells it tells its own story it does and and listen when you talk about the the quality of Hickey and and Patterson it's a risk worth taking and like you said Ralston will be third choice he'll go won't cause a problem within the squad he'll train hard he'll be an ultimate professional so yeah Steve Clarke is a 26 man squad so he's probably thinking to himself if these two stay fit then Ralston won't play but if I do need him like you're saying there Gordon

You just want the season over, I think, as an international manager at this point.

This close to the World Cup.

Yeah, and it's so unfortunate.

Someone who's obviously been involved in all the qualifiers, he's not played that much, but he's always been there, never present.
