But they should win that game, shouldn't they?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, I mean, notwithstanding a Curacao red card and the fact that Scotland struggled for 40-odd minutes of that game on Saturday, Curacao beat Haiti 5-1 in qualifying.

And Scotland, I think, in normal circumstances, are better than Curacao.

So, yes.

I mean, I don't think we should be in a situation where you say...

oh, here's why this could go horribly wrong.

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.
