Beam me up, Scotty - Rangers & Scotland CM Story

No Brazil. Now that would make a headline in itself.
Interesting group paired with England.
No Celtic players in the squad? Has that ever happened before?

No Brazil, yeah that was kind of a shock. But I know there's been some licensing issues, don't know whether that had anything to do with it. At first I was a bit frustrated, but they are actually struggling a bit in their IRL qualifiers, so if ever they were going to miss one, this could actually be it. It would be nice with a few other South American teams present then though. Netherlands and the other teams absent, I think that's more random, given there are no world cup qualifiers in the game.
No Celtic players, yeah I didn't really think about that myself, perhaps still counting Callum McGregor as such. But I suppose you're right, and even though I'm too lazy to check it just now, I'm inclined to agree with you; this has to be a first major tournament Scotland squad without a single Celtic player. To be fair, Greg Taylor might have a case that he should be called up, captaining them now (in game), taking them to the Europa League final (where they lost though) and having a nice 78 OVR to show. However, he would just have been ANOTHER left back in my already stacked group, and I'm no Southgate, am I?

I'm beginning to wonder what is going on, as the number of countries you can send scouts to, especially in South America, has shrunk to almost nothing. Yes, you can still scout for the academy, but not for first-team players.
If EA doesn't get its act together, it's going to be quite farcical soon.

Yes, I agree. On one hand we have the organization FIFA, who are SO tied up on having and maintaining a worldwide appeal. Even if the quality drops, it's all about including more teams/nations, referees from smaller leagues etc. And then we have EA, who are completely opposite, only focusing on Europe, well, and then the occational South American league, but not having the full inclusion to actually make it interesting. Sad. So much wasted potential.
