If it goes wrong, it's a major, major blunder for Scotland.

They should beat Haiti.

And as I say, given the opportunity in front of them where they know that three points and three points with a decent margin of victory puts them in such a strong position, I think there's no excuse for them not to win that game.

Absolutely.

I would only say...

I think now, and this also applies to Morocco, who everyone now recognises as a very good team.

I mean, Morocco embarrassed Scotland in 1998 at the World Cup.

And it was seen at that time, certainly in Scotland, as a terrible result and a bit of an upset.

And I think also Costa Rica, Peru, Iran, previous things.

I think there was a...

including in the Scotland set-up itself, a bit of ignorance about these teams and what they had and what they could do.

Absolutely.

It was, oh, we're better than them.

We'll go out and play our game and beat them.

I don't think that exists across football now.

So even... I'm comfortable and confident saying Scotland have better players and a better team than Haiti, but I don't think there's any sense that those players will...

underestimate that or won't be prepared for that.

I think that that has kind of been removed.

And the historical thing is funny because, of course, it's a bare fact if they come out of the group, they will be the first Scottish team to come out of a World Cup group and they will make history.

But I would also regard it as faintly ludicrous to then regard them as the finest Scotland team of all time.
