Typical to wait since 1998 to get to a proper tournament abroad when we have a very decent side with everyone fit and they start dropping like flies, still have a decent team but missing some good players the would have gave confidence we could do something, just had a feel of meakly papped out in one of the worst Scotland kits in years

To top it off, and nothing to do with how well Scotland do, I can't see past England to win it this time round, it won't bother me that much though if they do just want us to do ourselves justice, the injuries will make it difficult
In the space of 3 days I go from getting papped out to we have a chance, then start all over again 🙈

Losing any player is a blow with our resources but Dykes was never likely to start in any of the 3 games. Adams and Shankland are still there and tbf a high proportion of our goals come from midfield. Would be much worse if we lost eg McGinn or McTominay in these upcoming friendlies.

The big loss is Hickey being unavailable, that right side is a headache. I believe he's played Tierney at RB before, not sure on that.
