    To anyone more familiar with the Scotland team than I am: Is it going to come down to Dykes or McBurnie for a spot in the squad?
    Steve Clarke said he will partly be picking the squad on loyalty, I think Dykes is nailed on for a spot 
    You also don’t take him to the last set of international games before the World Cup if your not going to take him

    McBurnie is a much better player than Dykes but he’s also a massive dickhead. Don’t tend to want those in your squad for a tournament, especially if they aren’t going to be first choice

    Hasn’t Clarke not picked McBurnie for ages because he let him down a couple of times?

    Stevie Clarke has already told McBurnie he’s not going to the World Cup. It’s not really about what’s happened at club level recently, Dykes has been a great servant & McBurnie has -let’s say - not. Clarke operates a club style system so someone like Dykes makes more sense.

    Especially if that club is like Charlton and has mastered the art of Hoofball.

    Ross Stewart is another player out in the cold, despite being much better than Dykes, and now fit and healthy.
