| 1. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 08:50 Steve Clarke announces his squad of 26 for the World Cup today. We all know he tends to stay loyal to his tried and trusted players but the extended squad number gives him some scope to introduce less familiar faces. We still seem light in the striking department and it seems Tommy Conway will miss out through injury but that could mean an opportunity for Ross Stewart and/or Oli McBurnie who have both been in decent form recently. Findlay Curtis, the youngster on loan from Rangers to Kilmarnock who was in the last squad, has also been in good form and would be a good attacking option. Goalkeeper remains a problem position with veteran Hearts keeper Craig Gordon sadly lacking in game time although some would say he`s the most reliable option we have.

Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 09:28 think 23 of the 26 is pretty much nailed on from previous squads Gunn Gordon Kelly Ralston Hickey Patterson Tierney Robertson Hendry Souttar Mckenna Christie Mcginn Mclean Gilmour Gannon-Doak McTominay Ferguson Miller Adams Dykes Shankland Hirst final 3 pretty much wildcards Hanley/Hyam Curtis Mccrorie Bowie Barron Irving  Reply |
| 3. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 09:45 Surely Hanley will go if fit? I`d forgotten about Bowie. Verona have been relegated but he scored a late equaliser at Inter at the weekend to put a dampener on their Scudeto-winning celebrations. I don`t think I`ve ever seen Alan Irving play since he was a member of Hearts Championship-winning squad. Reply |
| 4. Author: Bandy Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 10:31 i`m hoping Ross Stewart gets picked - he`s looked very good for Southampton recently and carries an actual goal threat. Reply |

| 14. Author: Jeffery Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 11:20 Goalkeepers CRAIG GORDON ANGUS GUNN LIAM KELLY Defenders GRANT HANLEY JACK HENDRY AARON HICKEY DOM HYAM SCOTT MCKENNA NATHAN PATTERSON ANTHONY RALSTON ANDY ROBERTSON JOHN SOUTTAR KIERAN TIERNEY Midfielders RYAN CHRISTIE FINDLAY CURTIS LEWIS FERGUSON BEN GANNON-DOAK BILLY GILMOUR JOHN MCGINN KENNY MCLEAN SCOTT MCTOMINAY Forwards CHE ADAMS LYNDON DYKES GEORGE HIRST LAWRENCE SHANKLAND ROSS STEWART No big surprises other than maybe Stewart. Curtis is still very young so I think Calvin Miller and maybe another winger should have been tested in the friendlies. If Gannon Doak doesn`t play we`re struggling. Reply |
| 15. Author: Big T Par Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 11:45 Just messaged my Wrexham supporting brother in law, about Dom Hyam, as I`d never heard of him before. He was saying that he`s been absolutely phenomenal for them, which is very encouraging to hear as its definitely been a problem position for us. Reply |
| 16. Author: dafc Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 13:21 No Lennon Miller is astonishing. Why we need 3 right backs. Ralston out and Miller in, and I would have been ok with this. Ralston is 3rd choice at celtic never mind scotland. Reply |
| 17. Author: Bandy Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 14:13 Problem is Hickey and Patterson are both injury prone, so Ralston is there as cover for them. Feels like a waste a spot, I`m sure if Hickey and Patterson were ruled out someone could step in at RB - Lewis Ferguson, or even Tierney? Reply |
| 18. Author: rsmith Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 14:14 McBurnie will feel aggrieved at not making the squad. Has taken stick in the past but no player in the squad has scored more than him this season I don’t think Reply |

| 20. Author: WarringtonPar Date: Tue 19th May 2026. 14:18 Big T Par, Tue 19 May 11:45 I saw Hyam play against the Ivory Coast and was impressed. Him and Souttar looked comfortable together Reply |
