'Injury crisis is perfect time to experiment'

We asked for your views on Steve Clarke's squad for the Nations League games with Croatia and Portugal.

Here's what some of you said:

Ian: Why is Connor Barron not in the team? Is it because he is a Rangers player and tell me this what is it with Steve Clarke, does he only see through green-tinted glasses?

Ted: I had to Google Andy Irving.

Donald: Ryan Christie is the key man in this squad, he can't play wide or as a 10 any more. He has to play deep with Billy Gilmour. For the next two years if you build a team round those two, all other positions will fall into place whether it's a 4-4-2, 3-5-2 or 4-2-3-1. He could captain the team from that role.

Jefcal: Would be a different pool if not for injuries but I do not rate our centre-backs. Grant Hanley used to be okay. Nicky Devlin is as good as any other shout for right-back. Is Ryan Gauld not injured, as he’s been out of his team? Why no Luke McCowan as he's at Celtic now?

Scotty: Delighted for Devlin, he's been a consistent performer for the Dons and works his socks off. He should start ahead of Anthony Ralston.

Paul: Surprised that Ryan Hardie doesn't even make the squad. He's a regular scorer and battle hardened with Plymouth Argyle.

Andrew: Lewis Morgan and Gauld are a waste of time. Both getting called up at 28 years old, playing in the MLS, shows no inventiveness from Steve. I'd rather see Barron and Karamoko Dembele getting called up. Young and hungry players who are going to be there for the future.

Nathan: Considering the injury crisis and the certainty that we will be rock bottom of our group, this is the perfect opportunity for not just Clarke to experiment, but for the players to really prove themselves as useful for World Cup Qualifying.

John: The squad is okay, but why not include Lewis Mayo, who is good every game for Killie?

Gavin: It's as bad a squad as I have seen for a long time but I couldn't have picked a better one. We seem to be in a bad place compared to one or two years ago!
