No, because it's more defensive and it's more stifling opponent and that suits international football.

So what would be the plan for Brazil then, Joe?

a 1-0 defeat would have got us through a 2-0 defeat would have got us through but Scotland have conceded 4-5 goals because we've left ourselves very exposed yeah but on the flip side you don't put a left back at left mid that's where Steve Clarke and the people that want to go for it need to meet somewhere in the middle for me and by the way

I might be wrong this is my opinion I would have went with three midfielders two wingers and just shut off the middle of the park get them all in nice and tight together and on the counter attack okay if you want to play defensively get Doak running get McGinn coming inside and get Andy Robertson around him but it's to see Tierney on the team sheet and by the way it's no slight on Tierney Tierney's a top top player but it would be worth putting Angus Gunn up front it's something that I wouldn't have done

Yeah, if you ask me or anybody in Scottish football, the game at Tyne Castle where Hearts beat Rangers...

just after the split if Rangers were going to get a couple of million pound and Derek McInnes is a manager to replace Danny Rode they would have just laughed at you because it wouldn't sound realistic now that's going to happen they're going to end up with probably in my eyes the better manager that suits the club and a bit of money in the bank so I think it's all positive for Rangers What have you made of it all unfolding Richard?

Yeah, I think it's been a positive week.

I think the fact that Scotland beat Haiti is huge.

It's good for the country as well, getting their first win in the World Cup for years.

The only slight negative is we need to go and do a job on Morocco because the Brazil game won't be easy.

Especially over there, Brazil have got some superstars.

Morocco is probably the game we target that if we get a point we're guaranteed to be through.

now again if you go and get beat 1-0 and keep it respectable then there's a good chance to qualify with a minus 2 goal difference as well so I think all in all it's positive for Scotland at the moment and you can ask me Saturday and I'll give you an opinion after that How are you rating Scotland's chances of managing to get to a knockout stage of a major tournament for the first time?

and it's like when they lose he posts a picture of his team but when they win he posts a picture of just him and then when they win the league he's done it again he's a character for sure isn't he but no the World Cup's been brilliant and hopefully Scotland can go

I'd love to see the last 32 against Mexico and the Azteca because a lot of people say that that's the stadium to go Pele's won it there Maradona's won it there if I'm correct and it would be brilliant to see Scotland playing there in the competitive game We always try and find any tenuous Scottish connection that we possibly can Austin McPhee will be on the Portugal bench that didn't come from a set piece that one did it or did it actually?

Derek McInnes would never come out and say that Stephen Gerrard even wouldn't have come out and said that he kind of got a siege mentality early doors and got everybody together and went right it's us v everybody else which I think at Celtic or Rangers you need to do I don't think you can go and I don't even think if you're top of the league at Celtic or Rangers and

10 points clear and you can't go and draw two games in a row like Fozzie says it's not allowed and I don't think Danny Rowe fully understood that and I think that's why the Rangers fans probably wanted him gone if you put a poll of Rangers fans there and said do you want Danny Rowe here or away would you replace him with Derek McInnes I think it would have been resounding and I think it would have been unanimous I think he's a very good manager especially in Scotland

And we all do respect to every team he's worked with.

He won't have the money to work with equality at these teams that he will have at Rangers.

He will be backed.
