@BigDazSaturdays Miller can play in the holding position. It’s where he played most of his games for Motherwell; especially, under Wimmer and Kettlewell.
Scotland's way forward:
- Regain our independence
- Declare formal neutrality
- Invest in national defence, including missile defence
- Pursue strong trade relations with both Eurasia and the West
- Stay out of NATO and the EU
Peace is possible.

In recent posts I've discussed the unique place the Scottish Language (Scottish Gaelic) has in Scotland's history compared to the 'Scots' language (Inglis), and the countless historical reasons why Gaelic's proper place as the Scottish Language should be restored and maintained.
In light of recent events, and the joint declarations of the leaders of the three largest Celtic nations regarding their intention to work together for freedom, I'd briefly like to outline a much more practical reason why Gaelic restored as the Scottish Language is the only coherent choice for a Scotland seeking independence as a senior member of the family of Celtic nations.
The Scots language is not Celtic.
It is Germanic. It's "Inglis".
And that matters politically.
'Scots' has become a Trojan horse for English claims of early Scottish assimilation - claims then used against Independence to frame Scotland as naturally belonging to the "Anglosphere" and therefore rightfully politically bound to England.
It is an Achilles heel, an attack vector for every smirking, sniggering Unionist who points out that it is actually "Inglis" and essentially "Middle English".
Thus, even if its case as a foundational language for Scotland were not quite so weak, it remains a singularly unsuitable candidate as a national language for a Celtic nation. Especially one seeking freedom from its English neighbour.
Our independence movement is so fragmented now. I don't care about your politics outside of your support Scotland's independence.
Unless all factions are prepared to put their differences aside we can wave goodbye to our freedom. SNP must work with ALL. They can't do this alone.
@JamesMurphyTips You initially said that it was the strongest starting XI. Now you’ve pivoted to who Clarke will most likely start.
Agree Clarke will stick with Adams. I’d start Shankland, personally.
There are no real obvious picks for CB but Souttar has been rotten this season.
@seumasabheinn@joerichlaw When McLean scored against Denmark, the ref had already gone over the allotted time and their were no Scotland fans on the pitch. Not comparable to Saturday in the slightest.
@FionnJohnOC “Celto-Germanic" is absolute linguistic fiction—they are distinct branches. And Irish clearly distinguishes the English (Sasanach) from Scots (Albanach).
@WingsScotland International Football Association Board (IFAB) changed the rules again in March 2021 (effective from the 2021/2022 season onwards).
Here is the link to the current, official IFAB Law 12 (Fouls and Misconduct):
