Ben Doak seems to have acquired an additional surname! Reply |
2. Author: DJAS Date: Mon 25th Aug 2025. 12:53 Usual predictable squad. Ben chose the added name when he moved to Bournemouth Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply |

7. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Mon 25th Aug 2025. 15:23 Alf, Mon 25 Aug 13:14 Its fine, we have Lyndon Dykes and George Hirst 🙄 Reply |
8. Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Mon 25th Aug 2025. 15:33 in fairness Shankland as a lone striker offers zero mobility. Would like to see bowie given a run but can imagine a simialr line up to croatia with Dykes as a hold up player for the game in Copenhagen. ![]() Reply |
9. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Mon 25th Aug 2025. 16:13 Shankland has nobody to blame but himself. He’s carrying too much timber. ![]() It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |

11. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Mon 25th Aug 2025. 18:35 broontroot, Mon 25 Aug 18:16 We could maybe put Shankland in goals, but I agree with you. We are so weak for goalkeepers and good strikers. ![]() It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Post Edited (Mon 25 Aug 18:36) Reply |
12. Author: USMac Date: Tue 26th Aug 2025. 04:06 Only 4 players from the 2 Glasgow clubs — is that a record low? 4 players from Serie A. Reply |
13. Author: Connor560 Date: Tue 26th Aug 2025. 07:58 Nobody seen Shankland this season? Looks like he`s lost a power of weight C'mon Ye Pars! Reply |
14. Author: Connor560 Date: Tue 26th Aug 2025. 10:02 Jeremiah Mullen called up for the 21s C'mon Ye Pars! Reply |
15. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Tue 26th Aug 2025. 10:24 Congratulations to the boy and all that but I assume the coaches/manager don’t actually watch games then and just call up the same players every camp? Post Edited (Tue 26 Aug 10:25) Reply |
16. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 26th Aug 2025. 10:27 If that were the case, what do they base their original selection on? Reply |
17. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Tue 26th Aug 2025. 10:38 On current form you’d select him for international duty? It’s the same as Ralston, rarely gets a game for Celtic but always gets called up. Post Edited (Tue 26 Aug 10:39) Reply |
18. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 26th Aug 2025. 10:48 Presumably they`re considered the best options we have. Have you seen all the other options? Reply |
19. Author: Connor560 Date: Tue 26th Aug 2025. 10:53 Ahoy!Ahoy!, Tue 26 Aug 10:38 Ralston was solid at the weekend. Decent going forward, steing defensively. Seems an all round decent squad option for me C'mon Ye Pars! Reply |
20. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Tue 26th Aug 2025. 11:04 Best of a bad bunch then wee eck. He may well have done, don’t watch Celtic games but know he doesn’t play much. I just don’t think he should be anywhere near the Scotland squad. Reply |
