Popular Post bluenoz 31,623 Posted September 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2019 They came back to beat Croatia 2-1. Middleton assisted on the first goal & Ross McCrorie ( right back ) on the second goal.

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,859 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Is McCrorie not captain, normally midfield for Scotland U21s too rather than rb? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's the captain. Think he's played most positions to be fair although predominantly centre mid/half I think. I know he's played rb for Portsmouth and I'm fairly sure in his younger days with us he's played rb at times. Wouldn't be surprised if Scotland/Clarke are looking at him for a possible rb option for the future. The Killie boy has had a torrid few games and I don't even know who else are rb options other than Ryan Jack, but even that is a waste of Ryan Jack to be honest.

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,859 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Just wondering the reasoning behind it tonight whether tactical, injuries, etc as I think hes only played once at rb for Portsmouth. It'd be great if it was forward planning for the full international team even if at rb. But its Scotland and there's no way theres any sort of strategic approach involved.

I couldn't even tell you who the regular right back is. The only one I'm aware of potential coming through is young Houston with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,961 Posted September 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2019 Middleton looked great when he came on, some morons on here think he's just another Gregg Wylde but he's clearly not he's got far more skill and technical ability than Gregg Wylde could ever have dreamt of having. He was running rings around the Croatia defenders they couldn't stop him. Hopefully he can really kick on with hibs this season and return to us next season as a first team player.

Marky. 7,029 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Poor McCrorie is just getting moved about here there and everywhere. From centre half, to centre mid, to goalkeeper, to right back... quite the career. Cant help but take interest, much more in the U21s than in the senior shite.

35 Yard Dangerman 3,501 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 One of those crosses from McCrorie there where the second it leaves his foot you know it just needs any kind of touch and it's in the net. He'll most definitely come back an improved player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Maybe the SFA should play the U21’s as the full team get them ready for the next World Cup qualifiers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a few will transition up now that qualification through the group stages is pretty much a bust. Be interesting to see who Clarke feels can make the move now. McCrorie in a defensive midfield position would be a good addition particularly as his ambition will be for Scotland to be hard to break down. Be great for us if he can gain that experience alongside increased playing time at Pompey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of last season he was playing 3 games a week for 3 different Rangers teams and banging goals in for fun. Exactly what more would you like him to have been doing?
