    He did say they were going looking for a draw really, i don't see why as Czech Republic are nothing special at all. Not playing anyone up front at all is just strange :confused:

    Apparently he's promised "something different" against Spain.

    So that'll be 7-3-0 then...

    Exactly why they managed to lose.

    The Czech's looked dodgy at the back, and have done for a long time unfortunately Scotland were sitting so deep that they couldnt get out of their own half let alone anywhere near the goals. There was no outball and it led to constant pressure on the defence.

    There was a point when Naismith picked up the ball midway inside his own half with a real opportunity to break, unfortunately the Scots were so deep he ended up having to go backwards.

    Absolutely crazy way to line up.

    They're not actually that bad of a team. Fletcher is very good and Hutton, Caldwell, McGregor and Naismith are all good enough, imo. Been very impressed by Dorrans any time I've seen him play, as well.

    I know! The big one.

    I think we should play a weakened team in the Euro qualifiers so we can keep our top players fresh for the Nations Cup.

    not quite the 9-0-1 formation rangers played at old Trafford!

    Can't argue with it if they had justify it as rangers did with getting a result

    Against Czech Republic :confused:

    It'd be one thing if it was against a top team but the Czechs are no where near as good as they were a few years ago.

    HHhmmm Fletcher has never done anything in a Scotland shirt he looks a totally different player with Manchester United as he has superior players around him.

    Caldwell is a joke plus that was his first competitive game of the season last night should have been nowhere near the starting line up
