He's turned out well for Scotland in the past so hopefully it'll be more of the same. Sad to have to say it but I'm fairly certain that, no matter where we play in the next few seasons, Macleod will never make the full Scotland team while Strachan is in charge. He can try to justify it all he likes, but refusing to call up Wallace because he was playing in the lower leagues, yet persisting with Hutton who spent long periods not playing anywhere at all and using 2 incredibly average right backs at left back (where, no great surprise, they performed at a less than average level) belies what's at the heart of his selection policy.

I'm still a Scotland fan so I have to want us to be successful whoever the manager is, but I also think Macleod is a player we could realistically be building the national side around, and we'll lose years of potential as long as Strachan is there.
