Alex Rae

into the knockout stages i mean scotland against brazil in miami with history on the line alex ray is just incredible no listen i can't wait and uh i think there's again as i said i think there's a real optimism you obviously call him here uh in the arena and you know he still has a real belief uh that we can do this and listen on the on the back of the performance tonight

I thought it was real spirit, a real togetherness there, and out with that moment of madness, poor defending really, in the early exchanges, then I thought they'd done really well, you know, they didn't carry a threat in the first half, slightly better in the second half, but they're going to have to do that again, because they're up against some real, we mentioned the quality that Morocco had tonight, but you've got Rafinha and Vinny Junior and Paqueta, so you've got a real host of players there that can cause Scotland problems, and

I genuinely felt when I was watching the Brazil game it was more an individual but they have match winners you know we were looking at that game trying on who's going to step up who's going to be the man but they have a

There are four or five players who can do that in any given moment.

Kunar, the boy who was at Man United as well.

So you have him as well.

So you have him.

So they've got players who can win matches.

But they may well go on and coast tonight and then maybe not have that real desire going into the midweek game where we will be on the front foot.

A really big following from the Tartan Army does.

No, yeah, listen, I think obviously on the back of the first half, I thought they were very, very dominant for 40 minutes.

I thought they were on the front foot.

They strangled the life out of us in terms of pressing the ball.

Every time we won the ball back, there was two or three of them hounding.

And then I think in the second half, we showed the initiative and we obviously had more territory.

They came off the game a little bit, but I really can't remember their goalkeeper having too much to do other than

The penalty chance where, for me, how the referee and the VAR officials, I keep repeating myself, I still staggered that they've not come to the right decision that that's a penalty.

And you work for the 90 minutes to try and get into the opportunities.

It was a very aggressive play by John McGinn driving past the defender.

And it was so naive of him to dive in.
