QUOTE OF THE DAY

‘Seeing Fraser Aird and Scott Arfield show themselves as the best two players on the park only rubbed salt into the wound’

squad was exposed against Canada. To see Fraser Aird and Scott Arfield show themselves as the two best players on the park only rubbed salt into the wound.”

James Oliver, Glasgow, said: “Chris Martin showed no desire against Canada and it continues to amaze me he’s a wanted man in England as he’s hopeless. If Strachan plays him against Slovenia it’ll be the last straw. I don’t think we’ll win anyway and we’ll be shot of the both of them.”

Ian Loudon emailed: “We’re now capping players who aren’t even playing for their own lower-league teams. And the icing on the cake as usual is listening to Strachan blethering absolute drivel at the end. “This surely cannot be allowed to go on.”

Jim Simpson, Peterhead, said: “If players aren’t good enough to get a game for their club they shouldn’t be good enough to play for Scotland.

“The display against Canada was a disgrace and it was as exciting as watching Coronation Street.”

Gary Walker, Shotts, said: “Tom Cairney was the only success story against Canada. I would start him against Slovenia as he was the one player capable of picking a pass.

“Lee Wallace was embarrassed by Fraser Aird. That display should end the calls from Rangers fans to get a cap for their skipper as he was way out of his depth. His inability to use his right foot is a disgrace for a professional footballer.”

Rab Innes, Paisley, said: “Strachan has turned Scotland into a laughing stock. He’s picking the dregs of the British football leagues and still hasn’t been able to find a defender among them.

“To play a back four and not have one of them with a natural right foot must be an all-time low for our national side.” David Gray, London, said: “The size of the crowd against Canada proved one thing – there’s no such thing as the Tartan Army.” Edward Lowe emailed: “It wasn’t a bad result. We were playing on a strange ground and we didn’t lose!”
