'He's a striker in form' 🏴

Ross Stewart in and Lennon Miller out the two headlines.
Gutted for Miller but there’s no doubt in my mind he’ll be shining for Scotland on the big stage in the future.
Given the number of defenders and strikers I think it’s likely we see a 3-5-2 against Morocco and Brazil.

The Lyndon Dykes Question:
Does Dykes still deserve a World Cup place?
Disclaimer: I love Lyndon Dykes.
It's easy to forget what he has done for Scotland: Leading the line like a warrior in Belgrade to help us qualify for Euro 2020, the winners in the Faroes and Norway, fighting for the shirt every time he takes to the pitch.
However, his lack of form ahead of the World Cup is stark. Dykes scored five league goals in 41 Championship appearances for Birmingham and Charlton in the season just completed.
These numbers stand in contrast to a number of other Scottish strikers of a similar physical profile:
(2025/26 league goals):
• Oli McBurnie: 17
• Kieron Bowie: 12
• George Hirst: 11
• Ross Stewart: 8
Dykes also has just one goal in his last 21 Scotland caps.
His game isn't all about goals, Dykes has proven his ability to lead the line effectively for Scotland over the years. He is brilliant in the air and can be adept at bringing our midfield talent into play.
However, these are attributes which the likes of McBurnie, Bowie, Hirst and Stewart also possess.
I think team spirit was a major factor in Scotland's ability to qualify for this World Cup, with Dykes at the centre of this, but at what point can loyalty hold us back from maximising our chances of success?
I fully expect Dykes to be selected and I will back him to the hilt in the States, but if the squad selection were a meritocracy, he wouldn't be included.
For me, Lawrence Shankland in particular is a lock for the squad, and I also believe Ché Adams' mobility and all-round game makes him stand out.
This leaves two striking spots left: Who from this shortlist of five would you go for?
Let me know your thoughts. 👇🏻
