Scotland will be a nervous wreck tonight. The whole country will be chewing its fingernails. To recap, Scotland *have* to beat Italy at home at Hampden to qualify for Euro 2008. Don’t bother phoning anyone in Scotland between 5 and 7pm – the country will be at a standstill.
Good luck Scotland! After the draw was announced no one would have given us a prayer of still being in contention at this stage so many thanks to Walter Smith for turning the team around and current manager Alex Mcleish for keeping us in with a chance. Alex has handled the whole media side of this campaign brilliantly.
We have some of the best football fans in the world in the shape of the Tartan Army they’ve been exceptional. Let’s hope the team gives the fans the chance to follow them to the bigger Euro stage.
UPDATE Scotland 1 Italy 2. Alas not to be but by Christ we gave it a go
