Georgia v Scotland

Ok gents, it's time to focus on our national football side, the side who can only be described as strippers, they get you all excited, hot and bothered and then ultimately let you down.

Team news, slight doubts over Scott Brown and Russell Martin but both are expected to make it which is good news, two huge players for Scotland (Brown suits Scotland's team more than ours).

Based on previous games and Strachan's tendency to throw in a few surprises the starting 11 could be anything. Here is what I would go with:

Marshall

Hutton
Martin
Mulgrew
Robertson

Brown
Fletcher
Morrison

Maloney
Naismith

Griffiths

3 subs to use: Anya, Fletcher & Forrest.

Now, Griffiths gets there on form and I'm not sure how Maloney is doing but he's always a goal threat for Scotland and needs to be in the team.

Naismith hasn't played much football and I would be tempted to go with Forrest but I'd prefer Forrest to come off the bench and try stretch Georgia when they tire if it's still 0-0.

Our next two games are arguably our most important, anything less than 3 points between the 2 and we are at best looking at a play off spot but even that wouldn't be guaranteed. 3 or 4 points would be great, 6 would be unbelievable but I can't see us getting more than a draw against Ze Germans.

Really looking forward to it though, there is a buzz about watching Scotland right now and everyone seems to be pulling in the right direction

Georgia 0 v 2 Scotland, Griffiths & Maloney.
