No complaints over him not being picked for last month’s squad given his injury record but if Ross Stewart maintains fitness and form through to the summer then he is a no-brainer for Steve Clarke to take to the World Cup.
Ross Stewart scores his eighth goal in his last 16 games for Southampton. Pushing hard for a place in Scotland's World Cup squad. 👀

Interested to see how Marc Leonard fares at Hearts. Caught my eye as I was following career of Kieron Bowie post-Raith. They played together at Northampton for 2 years. Here’s a piece I wrote on him 18 months ago
“one of the best ever to wear the shirt”

Raith Rovers cup-winning legend in running for Stark's Park managerial vacancy scotsman.com/sport/football/…
Some words on Kieron Bowie who I watched make his senior breakthrough for Raith Rovers at 16. His time was always coming…
Scotland has a new number nine and Steve Clarke was there to witness the real deal in action | @mattelder_ scotsman.com/sport/football/…
Very difficult news to digest. A childhood hero who I had the pleasure of getting to know later in life through work and amateur football. RIP Big Shaun, you were one of a kind.

Raith Rovers are closing in on the appointment of Neill Collins (41) as their new manager. The Scot, who hails from Troon, spent most of his playing career in England including spells at Leeds, Sheffield United and Wolves. Has managed in the US and most recently at Barnsley.

David Healy has done a U-turn and turned down the Raith job. He applied, was placed on shortlist, contact was made last week and personal terms agreed. Raith thought they had their man but Linfield put up a fight, offered Healy a new contract, and he has now decided to stay.

Great to see Ziggy back in Scottish football - interested to see how he does having watched his impressive breakthrough at Raith.
Why Kieron Bowie signing is a coup for Hibs - 'Roy of the Rovers' rise, promotion winner, Scotland prospects

Conceding a penalty for that is so cruel on Denmark. Innocuous handball like that should be an indirect free-kick in the box. Deliberate handball or handball that prevents a goal = penalty. #EURO2024
