AmericanRam Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I am very much looking forward to watching this one as I think Scotland could really surprise the reigning world champions. My great-grandfather is Scottish so this match means a little to me . My Scotland starting XI: McGregor Forsyth Greer Reynolds Whittaker Morrison Bannan McArthur Maloney Bryson Naismith I think Scotland will play this 4-2-3-1 as Strachan has done of late to try to sneak a point. As much as I would like to say Martin will be top striker, Naismith has more experience in these types of matches and will probably get the nod. I do however think both Forsyth and Bryson will start Also, with the knock that Mulgrew has, I am giving Bannan the nod over him. My prediction: Germany 2- Scotland 1. I would not be surprised however if the Scots sneaked a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Should be much more entertaining than the England game. Hope Martin gets some minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanRam Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yep, I hope Martin gets some minutes. I figure he will over Steven Fletcher and especially if they do just go with one striker up top which I think they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 3-0 Germany Easy win Would not surprise me tbh. However, I think Scotland will give a bigger test than perhaps some think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 3-0 Germany Easy win Minimum of 3 and without playing anywhere near their first 11 or being bothered about it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanRam Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Tbh if Scotland does not get a point, which it will be extremely hard to do, as long as the Derby guys (Bryson,Forsyth, and Martin) play well and the squad gives their best effort and leaves it all on the pitch I will be happy.

Shaftesbury Street Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Looking forward to this. Not sure who Strachan will play, Naismith is bang in form atm but he has been benefiting from a big forward like Lukaku. I really think Martin and Naismith would be an awesome partnership but Scotland like to play one up top. Naismith might be a little isolated on his own. I'm not sure Bryson will get a look in and I think Andrew Robertson will start ahead of Forsyth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yes he is mate.He turns 98 next week bloody hell! Respect to that man.

Boycie Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Very true he is crotchety at times. However I have begun to enjoy eating Haggis with him haha, enjoy him while you can. Try and get as much info about the old days as you can. If you can of course. I understand old age brings other complications. But, they still deserve respect. To think he made the journey to the new land is a feat in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
