And also...
this will work both ways.
They have quite an experienced squad by way of, you know, a lot of players with a lot of caps.
And I actually think, I think it will help that they will be hugely motivated, one, to do well in this tournament because they feel they didn't represent themselves fairly in the last two Euros.
But two, I also think there's a good few players who will believe this is their best or final World Cup chance.
And I don't think we should underestimate that this will motivate them hugely going into this tournament.
Absolutely massive, yeah.
It's funny you mentioned Wembley in 96.
In 99, where Scotland lost the Euros playoff to England, although they won that game, they won the second leg, won nil at Wembley, Don Hutchison's goal.
One of my favourite images, actually, of Scotland fans is after that game, rocking all over the world was played and Scotland had just been knocked out and the entire contingent, they weren't celebrating defeat, they were just enjoying themselves.
It's a brilliant, you find it on YouTube, the footage there is great.
Yeah, listen, the Scotland fans are terrific wherever they go.
They will travel in,
Immense numbers.
I know I'm slightly surprised at this, given the first game is two o'clock in the morning, but maybe I shouldn't be.
But bars across Scotland are having launch parties, ticket only.
They're all sold out.
These events are sold out to watch that game.
I'm not sure.
