GrahamC Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Provisional one being named today. Both McCrorie (due to several RBs being injured) & Conway listed as potential selections in this article; https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5115v4ymgyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Senior call up for Conway would be good news for us, purely on the basis of it possibly increasing his marketability if he does go this summer as anticipated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might encourage him to sign for Celtic if they can come up with the money. I'm not convinced he's ready for the PL, and if that's his aim another season here would benefit, but the SPL is different story. An injury free season and a regular starter should comfortably see him break the 20 goal barrier there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 But remember……if he doesn’t get selected it’s all Manning’s fault ……… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is also another reason why he has so far commited to a new contract. If he gets on the plane and makes an impact then he's going to have even more interest from clubs. So whilst Manning may want him to make a decision now, if you're Tommy Conway you've got nothing to lose by just seeing what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 If he does get on the plane, that just delays any decision til deeper into the summer. That’s not blaming anyone, just the reality of the situation we are in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had all season to "make an impact" in my opinion his season has been underwhelming! If he goes, doubt he gets on the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 (edited) Ross McCrorie makes the squad, TC does not. Good luck Ross! Edited May 22 by Gazred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 That's a blow for Tommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 As I said a few months back. Which one of Adams, Dykes & Shankland was Tommy going to get in front of? Those 3 were ALWAYS the 3 that were going. Forrest and Doak are more classed as wingers so their inclusion is nothing related to TC. But he was never getting in above those 3 players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moulin Rougier Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 2 will still be cut from that provisional squad but you'd think Ross has a real chance of going given the struggles the Scots have a right back/right wing back. Hope he gets a go, must be a fantastic feeling to represent your country at a major tournament. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markthehorn Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Is he a right back ? They are short in that area due to injuries . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d assume one to be cut would be one of the four keepers so it’s really just he needs to be ahead of one other player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderwithtommy Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Conway a little unfortunate - if we sold him and bought Dykes as his replacement I wouldn’t be jumping for joy. But understand Dykes played a big roll in qualification. My point still tho is Conway over Dykes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Shows how much attention I paid, didn't even notice there we 4 keepers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderHead92 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 To be fair I dont think Conway has earned it. I Dont think Ross has had the best of seasons either to be honest, but they are short in his position and it also helps he can play in multiple positions! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyAB Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Tommy was never getting in ahead of Adams or Dykes and I guess they couldn't have 3 non-Scottish strikers so Shankland got the nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not because Shankland is based in Scotland. It’s because Shankland is the top scorer in Scotland. By some distance (6 goals clear this season). And has 48 league goals in 74 league games in the last 2 seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed when you said “non-Scottish” in your first post that you were referring to them not playing in Scotland. Hadn’t realised it was in reference to their ancestry.
