this formation is ideal for getting people close to Che Adams, because Shanklin built with him, Ganondale could set up, the fact that he really set up both of the goals for Adams at the weekend, he'll get close to him, McTominay naturally will get close to him, and I think McAnathy comes out of the team naturally will get close to him as well, so it gets bodies in the areas that could hurt Haiti.

put themselves in a really good position to try and get through listen Scotland's World Cup could be on Saturday night in Boston all wrapped in one nutshell because if you fail to beat Haiti we're on our way home but if we beat Haiti then we do have a real good chance of getting to the last 32 and no Scotland team's ever gone beyond the group stage at a major finals be it a World Cup or a European Championships Andrew Morocco I know they won the African Cup of Nations by default on home soil at the start of the year but

I don't think they're as good as they were four years ago when they got to the semi-finals.

They look as if they're losing El Zalzuli from Real Betis who was injured last night in that game against Norway.

They look as if they're going to be without Masraoui, the Manchester United defender, for at least the first game against Brazil, possibly the second game against Scotland.

They've had a couple of injury concerns anyway.

no wonder Scotland don't want to play that friendly against Norway well there you go another reason I watched Brazil Saturday night late on beat Egypt it was only 2-1 but Brazil dominated it they will be they will be good any team that's got Vinicius Junior and Rafinha and Bruno Guimaraes and Casemiro Marquinhos has just won back-to-back Champions Leagues as captain of PSG they will be good they to me

I was three years old to give away my age when Scotland played Morocco You're saying you were at the game Johnny I showed Andrew recently I was about 20 Johnny Andrew didn't believe me I was 22 I had the front page story the night Scotland got knocked out in St Etienne with a picture of

Jim Layton lying despondent in the back of the net after Morocco scored the third goal and I've still got the newspaper I took pictures of the paper and I sent it to Andrew and Gabs and the show I think they were astonished that newspapers weren't just in black and white in 1998 they were aghast when I showed them all this

Yeah, and he's re-engaged the national team with the national psyche.

I remember when we threw those barren years before Steve Clarke.

During international breaks in this show, Andrew, you could have brought in a packet of cards and kept plunk because nobody wanted to phone and speak about Scotland.

The international breaks were...

tiresome on this show because you hardly get a caller interested in any of the games and we tried to drum up a little bit of interest but it was really half-hearted once Steve Clarke took us to that first Euros and then we were unlucky not to get to the last World Cup if you remember that playoff against Ukraine then we get to a second Euros then we get to a World Cup and

The next Euros, of course, are going to be partly here.

We have a right good chance of getting to them as well.

So this manager and this team have re-engaged with the nation in a way that Johnny and I remember from the 80s and the 90s and the 70s.

What's the route then, Johnny, tomorrow?

from Maybold to Malaga in 1982 to support Scotland and these stories that's what makes the World Cup special yes the football will be great and we'll get to see Messi and Ronaldo and Mbappe and all these guys but it's the stories it's the human interest stories it's the things that people do to get to the games and watch their team that's what makes these tournaments special that's what we missed for so many years Andrew

Yeah, I was going to go and strike.
