CMS called up for this weekend

unsurprising really but looks like Kenny Miller might be out so CMS might get a start.

BBC Sport - Scotland will not gamble on Kenny Miller's fitness

Scotland coach Craig Levein insists he will not gamble on Kenny Miller's fitness for Saturday's Euro 2012 qualifier in Liechtenstein.
"The manager has already spoken to the backroom staff," said Houston, who had previously hinted that Brighton's Mackail-Smith was the preferred deputy.

No chance of a start even against Leichtenstein. Four ahead of CMS: Steven Naismith, Kenny Miller, Ross McCormack, David Goodwillie.

Goodwillie , ( snigger , snigger )

Would be nice to see him get a little play time, but as you say, he's quite down the list of strikers.

 

[Seagulls4life]

Would be good to see him get a run out, maybe even a goal. No injuries though!

No chance eh? Miller injured not being risked, McCormack not even in the squad! Naismith is a midfielder that can play as an emergency striker NOT an out and out striker (unlike CMS)
Miller has a groin injury and Scotland's assistant boss Peter Houston said: "Craig is a bit similar to Kenny — he works hard and is scoring goals."

"Craig could stand in for Kenny and not lessen the team's performance at all."

Yeah you're right mate, absolutely NO chance of starting!

Assume this on tv somewhere? If CMS plays I might watch.

It's being shown on BBC Scotland

So...........Does anyone have a stream for this (gets the inevitable question in nice and early)

 

[Randsta]

TBH rather not see him play, he needs to be rested for the more important League games the Albion have!

What is quite funny up here is the press considering CMS as an 'adequate replacement'. Kenny Miller cost £600k CMS at least 4 times that much. Miller has a little pace,CMS has much more. Miller runs about for you, CMS does it more and quicker. CMS also runs the channels a darn site better than Miller. Miller may be a tad more canny than CMS but that is open to debate. All in all CMS is a better player. I reckon he will play and I for one will cheer him on. Just don't get injured CMS, please?

Scottish FA have confirmed he won't be playing tomorrow. So I would guess CMS is

But Miller has the right accent

He might have the right accent but if Miller was a true scot he would be called Millar

Agree with that but I think Miller holds the ball up better. He also has a reasonable scoring record in a poor team so is likely to remain first choice for the time being
