SFA Chief, Ian Maxwell, has spoken out after the appointment of Steve Clarke as Scotland boss, as quoted by the Glasgow Evening Times. On Tuesday, Clarke said it would be possible for those who had retired from international football to change their mind [BBC News Channel live 11:51am (21/05/19)]. That comment could be construed as…

Players that continually pulled out of Scotland squad under Mcleish should be barred from ever wearing the Scotland jersey again , we can’t have players deciding what games they are gonna play in or what manager they’re gonna play for so precedence has to be set to let players know how things stand .

Utter nonsense , there was a reason that players pulled out of squads under McLeish , Grant and McFadden and it was the same reason that they were sacked …the whole set up was being run in an amateurish fashion and the real pros who play for real professional clubs werent prepared to risk their club careers for these three clowns . Robert Snodgrass for example was" encouraged" to take a jag on an injury to let him play in a game and then didnt even get used as a sub.We need guys like Ritchie , Cairney , Snodgrass, Bardsley and anyone else who plays in the EPL regularly as part of our team because the guys who have been brought in are nowhere near good enough . As for Greegsy , he has retired ( not just not turned up ) , so I would expect him to stay retired .
