Ryan gauld, johnny Russell and stevie may have to start being I introduced into the team asap before its to late. The problem Scotland have is we don't get the guys into the team quick enough meaning by the time they hit 25 26 they only a have a handful of caps and don't know how to play international football. Its a vicious circle we are in. Hopefully under strachan more youngsters will start playing.
Yes we never seem to blood young people for caps.

We are still referring to players of 25 and 26 as young players in scotland.

The problem is still that most of the regulars are still guaranteed a start despite many failed campaigns behind them

Of the squad for the last couple of games:-

David Marshall first cap at the age of 19, Grant Hanley at 19, Andy Robertson at 20, Scott Brown at 20, Darren Fletcher at 19, Steven Fletcher at 20, Barry Bannan at 20.

A load of the other players got their first caps aged around 22 or 23.

We've been here before DB and the only example of this you were able to give was Craig Levein.

Hearts extend their lead in Scotland's most competitive league to 9 points and remain unbeaten.

Rangers will want to sack him but they cannot afford to.

Ally won't walk. Rangers looked the better team even with 10 men. Craig Thomson again demonstrating why he is the worst referee in the country with another horrendous performance. The red card was a joke and the penalty looked like a dive.

The red card a joke.
Dry your eyes.
Sevco were a disgrace.
Miller & Boyd should have been sent off.
Dirty cheating b******s.
Fat Ally must stay.

Hearts were being outplayed by 10 men for the entire game. The referee won you the game with the worst red card I've seen this season. The penalty was a dive from the cheating Hearts players too.

Raith Rovers were better at Tynecastle 2 weeks ago than Rangers were in the 2nd half today.

Interesting to see what Rangers try to do, because surely they know on current form they're going to be humiliated by Celtic in that cup game.

So you agree Boyd and. Miller should have been off.
Your a sore loser.
Law should have been booked for diving.
McCulloch another thug who gets away with persistent fouling.
I feel your pain.

Smith, Miller and Boyd were all bookings. Thomson obviously realised he got the Smith one wrong at half time when he checked or someone told him. It's only November, no trophies are handed out yet. I know you haven't been at the top of a league for years but try and not pish the bed with excitement.

Hibs scored 6 goals! Had to do a double take. Not often you win 6-3 away from home

If there was ever any doubt that Francis was only ever a terrible WUM it has vanished now.

Maybe he'll remember why he got suspended for trolling other threads and stop trolling this one?

What happened to supporting your own team? The feelgood factor of getting one over on The Gers is obviously still going strong.

If Ian Murray hadn't got his tactics so wrong 1st half, the match may have been closer
Some terrific goals though, big Malonga hit a peach from 30yds, postage stamp. Garry Fleming too for The Sons, struck a beauty.

I watched some of Hearts V Sevco before going to watch the Champions yesterday. Sevco should have been down to 9 men by the time I left, Miller should have been sent off, also heard on the radio Boyd should have been sent off and they were suprised Black never got a 2nd yellow for giving away a penalty. Dont know how Sevco fans can blame the ref when they finished a game with 10 men when it should have been 7.

Law and McCulloch were also lucky to avoid being booked for diving.

I noticed the sky sports app put something on my phone so I screenshot it, but was at work so couldn't record it.

Hope it's on catch up. That would be a good watch.

It's on again today at noon, tomorrow at 9pm and Thursday and 9am - so plenty chances to record it, although I'd be surprised if it wasn't on on-demand.

Have to say, I thought they still focused too much on the "fairytale" aspect and glossed over the fact the whole dream was built on money that didn't actually exist. Rowan Alexander in particular came across as as big an arsehole as he did 7/8 years ago.

Did hear a wee rumour about issues with whether Hampden is actually going to be ready.
