One or two dark horse nominations in particular coming up.

Next up, JJ, let's hear about this Scotland side.

They reached the World Cup in such dramatic fashion.

Yes.

Right.

Well, if their World Cup campaign can live up to anything like the last-minute drama of the game against Denmark, we're in for a treat.

Brazil and Morocco were opponents for Scotland in their last World Cup adventure back in 98.

This time around, is the feeling just you're happy to be there and whatever happens, happens?

Or do you have actual notions of them emerging from the group?

No, no, but I'm swept away by your optimism.

Let's talk a bit about the team.

It's been an amazing season in Scotland.

Hearts, who are very much the protagonists of that, their former skipper, Laurence Shankland, just signed for Rangers.

He's in the squad.

Who else is in there that you think is going to be pulling off these upsets against Brazil and Morocco?

Yes.

He's seen it all before.

It was pretty miserable stuff last time out for Scotland at the Euros.

But with the experience of that tournament and the way that they performed in this qualifying campaign, I can understand why you're optimistic, JJ.

JJ, magnificent.
