Bonus pod: All about the Scotland squad - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

from 2021-05-20T00:22

:: ::

Connie McLaughlin presents a special bonus edition of the Football Daily podcast as Scotland manager Steve Clarke has named his 26-man squad ahead of the Euros.

We’re joined by former Scotland wingers Robert Snodgrass and Pat Nevin and our reporter Roddy Forsyth to dissect it all.

We focus on the three uncapped players who have got the call up – Billy Gilmour, Nathan Patterson and David Turnbull and assess whether they should be in the starting eleven.

There’s big omissions for Leigh Griffiths and Ryan Gauld – were they the right calls?

And we debate who should start in the group games at the Euros with huge competition for places – especially in Scotland’s midfield.
