He's the type of player any side needs. A great engine, excellent temperament.
He'll cover defensive space, pick up loose balls, play it away, move into space, take it again and look to create. Rarely plays a bad pass. Also carries an attacking threat.

I'm not sure about Hendry. I thought we'd solved that problem with Gallacher but either something's gone on there or the manager just sees something better in Hendry.
He took his goal really well against the Dutch but was at fault for at least two of the goals in recent matches. Given he's started the last two games it looks like he's a starter v the Czechs. Personally I think he would be a liability at Wembley, I'd have Gallacher in there instead.
thanks for that Stoke - i was serious that i had simply not watched scotland very much. I think hendry is an understudy and if needed looked decent.

I dont think hendry will start but who knows eh!

we have some good players Nisbet scored well there so happy for him to come off bench when required. Just dont think he is the finished article and from what i hear his head is full of being ballon D'or next season
