Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
0141 951 1025 It's time to talk football. It's Clyde One Super Scoreboard.
Good evening and welcome to Clyde One's Super Scoreboard. Scotland beat Curacao in their Hamden send-off but it comes at a cost with Billy Gilmore now ruled out of the World Cup. Manchester United's Tyler Fletcher is a surprise inclusion on the plane as his replacement and it looks to be a straight shootout between Martin O'Neill and Robbie Keane for the Celtic job. I'm Andrew McLean.
Joining me in the studio is Scott Allen. And is the World Cup fever really hitting in watching those pictures of the squad flying out yesterday?
It helps off the back of scoring scoring nay goals at Hampden it wasn't a fantastic start there's no getting away from that I think Curacao going down to 10 men definitely helped but it was a chance for guys to get minutes Shankland obviously gets his two goals and we'll go over to the States full of confidence Tyler Fletcher in for Billy Gilmore first of all we will speak about Billy Gilmore it is just horrible for him someone that has been so good for Scotland over the years as a real exciting midfielder for him not to be going to the World Cup when at first
for it to happen so close to the start of the tournament is going to be horrible absolutely devastating listen I'm the biggest fan of Billy Gilmore I do feel he's that one midfielder who knits the game together for us he's got that real composure and I do believe we're a better team when we have him on the park That being said, it's now an opportunity.
As you said there, Tyler Fletcher now goes and replaces him, but you can't help but feel for Billy Gilmore. Big loss for us.
Yeah, certainly if you'd said a few months ago that Tyler Fletcher was going to be on the plane to the World Cup for Scotland, I'm not sure many people would have believed you. There's maybe a few other names that I'm sure people on the phones will throughout tonight that they feel may well have been in with a shout of replacing Billy Gilmore.
Was that a surprise to you that he got on the pitch the other day and then has now managed to get himself in the squad?
I think him.

Chapter 2: What happened in Scotland's friendly match against Curacao?
Over the weekend, still no Celtic manager. Looks as if it's getting a bit closer. Reports today that it's going to be a straight shootout between Martin O'Neill and Robbie Keane. Reports saying that Robbie Keane's set to meet with Dermot Desmond. Still no conclusion to that.
No conclusion and if it's all set to be said tomorrow for us to find out then it'll probably be next week with the way things have went over the last few years but I think that's obviously your two candidates who have been spoken about Martin O'Neill obviously being victorious at the end of the season there with the league and the Scottish Cup he'll maybe feel as if he's still got the energy to go and do another season Robbie Keane obviously leaves Ferenc Farros we've seen how their team looked against Rangers they looked decent enough and it looks as if he's going to speak to Dermot Desmond as you said but I don't think we'll have any conclusion to that before the end of the week
01419511025 on the phones whether it is international football domestic football if you want to talk about what you liked from Scotland's game against Curacao at the weekend what about Tyler Fletcher and his inclusion what about the fact that Billy Gilmore's injured what does that change
for Steve Clarke is there another player that you would have liked to have seen on the plane instead and in domestic football Celtic fans looks as if it's going to be between Martin O'Neill and Robbie Keane you should let us know who should be the Celtic manager from next season over 1141 951 1025. And if that wasn't enough incentive to call in, what about this?
Because all this week on the show, we're giving you the chance to win weekend tickets to Transmit Festival at Glasgow Green from the 19th to the 21st of June. They're going to be showing Scotland's game against Morocco on the Friday night and straight after a packed day of music. The likes of Cammie Barnes, Beluga Lagoon, Niall Rogers and Chic.

So the Celtic signing policy, it's abysmal. If it's not players, it's the manager. Now, we won the double two weeks ago, and the Irishman was supposed to have a meeting with Martin O'Neill last week. That's been put back on hold. They're not board-like in the world. They're just not board-like in the world. These guys are just sitting on their hands, as far as I'm concerned.
Where season ticket money had to be, this was the car for the deadline of the day. So they got 54,000 season tickets money that day. And we've still not got a manager. We've not got another four or five guys. We don't know who's going to be coming in, who's going.

Chapter 3: Why is Billy Gilmour ruled out of the World Cup?
It's not good, mate. It's not good after winning a double. It's the same every season. That's what I tell you. Every season. Surely God are going to need to change that policy because it's abysmal, as I say.
We'll get into the specifics of Martin O'Neill and Robbie Keane in a second but just on the timing that John's annoyed about if you were a player in that Celtic changing room who will be away on their holidays at the moment some will be away to the World Cup as well but would you as a player be wondering what's going on and why there maybe hasn't been a manager yet or is that something that the players aren't too concerned about they just think about it when pre-season starts?
No, I think if you're a player on the periphery or one who's been in the start of the living throughout the course of the season, I do think you want to know when the new manager is going to get announced. I think this was always going to be the way it was going to be.
I think if Martin O'Neill was to win the league, which he'd done, then win the Scottish Cup, the next thought in all fans' minds was going to be how quickly are we going to get a manager in and then how quickly are we going to get the recruitment done? Have we learned the lessons from the previous season?
still very early in June but there'll be games to be played there'll be new players to come into the squad and have to adapt to however the new manager is going to want to play but you can't do any of that until you have a manager in place that's the two candidates we're speaking about if it's a Martin O'Neill and he is the guy that's going to come in then there's maybe a bit more relaxed view to it because he already knows the players between him and Sean Maloney I'd imagine they'd have a drew up a list of players who they would potentially look to sign in the summer so if it's Robbie Keane
and it's completely different and you're going to see another different brand of football so it's I did expect it to be this way I think at the same time though it's a long season for players managers and even guys on the board who have come under a lot of pressure this season sometimes they just want to get away get their feet up but at the same time have things bubbling in the background and maybe just maybe you'll see that news happen at the end of this week
It certainly looks as if it's getting closer, John. There are reports that Dermot Desmond is meant to be meeting Robbie Keane tonight, of course. There will be ongoing talks with Martin O'Neill and the situation that he's in. Is that a bit more promising, at least, that there looks to be movement?
It's going to be looks. They're looking. That's where you go. It's not a matter of we're looking at a player, we're looking at a player, we're looking at a player. They take him to come in to get a player and they put a half-decent offer on him. The guy's away. There's a lot of people, there's a lot of these directors and other teams that don't want to touch Celtic. It happened last season.
Guys, we're not going to, we're not interested in this sport because there's just been a pinching.

Chapter 4: Who is Tyler Fletcher and why was he called up to the squad?
We saw that, you know, Elliot Watt got in the team of the year for the Scottish Premiership.
Andrew, this isn't even about this year. This is about the accumulation of professional minutes these players have had from a young age. Connor Barron, breaking city, goes back to Aberdeen from his loan deal, works his way all the way through.
to then get in the Rangers squad and have an influence in the game Lenny Miller gets in Mullerwell's team at a really young age becomes consistent becomes captain goes to Serie A Elliot Watt has been around Scottish football St Johnson into Mullerwell one of the he's the highest player for passing the ball forward in the whole country this season for a young player and I'm not saying he's not talented he may be talented but you can't you can't decide that after 17 minutes of first team football and
and then a second half against Curacao you just can't do that I'm totally with Mark on that I think it's very very harsh on the free players we speak about there but if that's the route you're going down and that's the bar to get to go to Scotland to go to the World Cup with Scotland I don't think it's the way to do it for me I think it's very disappointing you'd be absolutely gutted if you were one of the free players
So what do you think the decision then comes down to? Because Steve Clarke has obviously seen him up close, was impressed enough at the weekend to put him on the park when he didn't need to because he had options there. Is that a case of he has just been so impressed over that spell that he thinks he should do it? It doesn't matter. He really likes his attitude?
Do you not feel like there's really much of a justification?
Not to go to a World Cup. See if it was Nations League or...
friendly's coming up and then you're going from the start and he's trained really well it just shows you how important the opportunity is in football and being ready and that's where you've got to give huge credit to Tyler Fletcher he's took his opportunity and he's going to a World Cup off the back of it that then obviously helps when you've had a dad who's had that experience he's been the biggest of clubs where demands are really put on you but the pressure now goes on Tyler Fletcher now anytime he plays for Scotland because of this promotion obviously to the World Cup squad but I just feel

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Gilmour's injury on Scotland's World Cup chances?
you look at the guys we mentioned there Elliot Watt, Lennon Miller, Connor Bannon especially who came through the Scottish football route and done the hard yards I was really shocked at it to be honest
I do wonder if any of the decision, and this is just purely speculation, you look at the fact that, you know, Tyler Fletcher is eligible for England and is it potentially a case that, not that I'm saying it justifies it, but could that be a thing that he's looking to the future and thinks he's a high potential player and this can be the type of thing that would get him to commit to Scotland?
He's got a brother as well who is very highly rated and could potentially play for Scotland in the future.
maybe maybe see if that is the case though for me it's not going to make it any better for the likes of Lennon Miller this country should be able to produce players who can go in the midfield for Scotland in a second half against Curacao and be able to dictate playing it on the ball and play forward we're now at the stage because we don't see a lot of it where
we see someone take the ball play forward and we think it's an unbelievable thing for me we should be creating these players should be being created at every academy throughout Scotland the problem is we're not so then when you do have one you obviously promote them you rush them forward 17 minutes of professional football to then go to a World Cup it's a fair play I'll take nothing away from the boy but that's extremely harsh on your Lennon Millers and Connor Batons for me How big is the loss of Billy Gilmore for you Mark?
Erm
Yeah, I would say so. I'd say it's quite a big loss. I'd say it's a big loss, I think. I don't think he's going to stand out for Napoli, for what I've seen. I can't lie and say I've heard a lot of Italian football, but you can only go from what you see when you read. But in a Scotland jersey, he's always done it a turn.
I think he's quite a calming presence in midfield to be honest for Scotland anyway so I think it's a big loss also do you know what I actually think it's a big loss for Scotland I think that they've got a really good partnership obviously they work at club level I think that's going to be quite difficult just to replace that kind of relationship in the middle of the park to be honest I mean Scott will be able to answer that better he obviously played in the middle of the park so I don't know if that really makes any difference but I think that would make a huge difference in my thoughts anyway
Yeah, big miss, big miss. Feel it for the boy, feel it for the kid.

Chapter 6: What is the latest on the Celtic managerial situation?
I hope you're well. You too. Played twice, 50% win rate.
yeah I'm looking for a coin right trying to see if you can get a positive ratio what who did you beat and who did you lose to Jim Durfey beat me a while back and then I beat Gordon Dale so that's in the great shapes I'm actually due a coin as well yeah I was promised a coin for beating Gordon Dale last week when we couldn't take calls for an hour and a half oh yeah that's true actually the two of you had to play against each other you had to go out into the corridor didn't you and a coin was a mistake and I've still not I've still not had it in the post
oh well at least you're not having to go out to the corridor now we'll just put something else in the ear of Scott Allen so he cannot hear us and it will be 30 seconds on the clock for you Gary to answer as many questions as you can remember you can pass if that helps you out how does that sound? okay thanks Andrew right let's go who replaced Billy Gilmore in the Scotland World Cup squad?

Chapter 7: Who are the main candidates for the Celtic manager position?
Motherwell. Ross County. And that's it. So Scott Allen takes a 3-2 lead. Which top flight club had Strongbow and Wonga as shirt sponsors? You both got it. You both said Hearts. So it is 4-3 to Scott Allen. Robbie Keane joined Celtic on loan from which Premier League club? You both said Tottenham. You both got it right. 5-4. It's a high scoring game.
I've done myself well, Alex McLeish.
Well, who was the last Scotsman to manage Rangers? Gary went Walter Smith. You went Alex McLeish.
Alan McLeish?
No. Because we're talking football nationalities. Russell Martin. It's a Scotland international. And he... Not Scottish Football nationality Is what we go on For beat the pundit Neither of you got it anyway So it remains 5-4 to Scott Allen Ange Postacoglu Managed Australia At which World Cup? Gary said 2012 Which was A Euros year You went for 2010 The answer's 2014
in Brazil so it remains 5-4 to Scott Allen he got one more question in who scored Scotland's penalty against Curacao you said Ryan Christie 6-4 to Scott Allen that is a good victory to kick off the summer league for you yeah I'll take that that was a that was
Closely contested Yeah 4's not a bad score Gary So You can't be too disappointed By yourself Nah Listen I don't mind losing To a guy like Scott So I appreciate that Thank you There you go Who's your team Gary Celtic How are you feeling About the managerial situation Talk today That it's going to be Either Martin O'Neill Or Robbie Keane Possibly talks happening Tonight With Robbie Keane
I think you would say that I can maybe see Martin Neal moving upstairs and Robbie Keane coming in maybe with Sean Maloney there as a continuity as a number two but you just if it's long enough if it's January if they sack Nancy can I come up with somebody that's coming in so it needs to be done you just need to get it done
Is that an interesting element to it that, as Gary says, Celtic haven't had a permanent manager in place since Wilfred Nancy came in? Yes, Martin O'Neill was in there, but he was in there as an interim until the summer. Would you have expected that a lot more work would have been done in the last few months? Because people talk about the season ended a couple of weeks ago.
