"You can write him off." Peter Martin, Hugh MacDonald and Gordon Parks on who leads the line for Scotland after the 2-1 defeat to Slovenia.
Lawrence Shankland is out of the picture, so is it James Wilson or Kieron Bowie? Oli McBurnie "grafted like hell, but he's not a goalscorer", and Bowie was left on the bench after scoring his first Scotland goal. Plus Kevin Nisbet and the Kasper Høgh problem at Celtic, Josh McPake's rise from the lower leagues to Hearts, and Gordon's case for two wingers: "it's been garbage for too long". It ends with Gordon's questions for Sebastien Pocognoli: "Did your players let you down, or did you let the players down?"
