You've got John McGinn, who just captained Aston Villa, who are a massive club to the Europa League final and won it.
Scott McTominay, who's won a league in Italy.
We've got a lot of big players in that team, so I don't expect nerves to be the problem tonight.
And you can just see the pride ripping out of these players to represent their country.
There maybe was a time where Scotland players maybe weren't as proud and there was accusations that players maybe pulled out of squads and didn't necessarily want to be jumping at the chance to represent Scotland.
You get the feeling that every single player in this squad is so committed and wants to do their very best to make sure that Scotland...
they know they probably need to win 2 or 3-0 tonight 1-0 won't be enough to qualify for me unless you're going to go and get a positive result against Maroc for Brazil which based on tonight's games will be two hard games so go out there get as many goals as you can win the game comfortable and give yourself the best possible chance and don't let any pressure come back in the next few games Andrew just quickly sorry I go back to and I know Tony will never remember I remember in 1974
and we'll get goals all over this pitch here let's not be kidding I think we could get a real good result tonight There needs to be that balance though doesn't there Tony because there may be people out there that don't think Haiti will be much of a challenge despite the fact that if you look at their warm-up friendlies they do have some very good players they've got guys that have played in the Premier League guys that are playing at a decent level but it's not as if Steve Clarke is going to look at Haiti and think oh this could be a walkover Scotland are going to score
X amount of goals Scotland still need to take this very very seriously and at the end of the day a win is what Scotland need it would be great to win it and you know score several goals but there needs to be that balance to be struck of making sure that this game is taken as seriously as possible and you know that that's exactly how Steve Clarke and his staff and the players are going to handle it If we're looking for a manager who's going to be defensive and set his up
get as good defensively on set pieces and make sure we don't concede easy goals.
I think Steve Clark's that guy.
Now we've also added the attacking part of it a little bit more fluently.
We've got a better option in Ben Doak in terms of...
He's a wee bit more experienced with the national team.
He's played a wee bit more games.
Last week he looked electric.
And now Shanklin's came to the fore in terms of he's a right option now.
I also think the biggest winner of this two up front for me is Shea Adams because I think Shanklin always makes the player next to him better.
I think he's shown that at hearts whether it was with Josh Ginelli, with Braga, with these types of players around him.
He always brings the best out in other people and I think that lets Shea Adams.
