Yet again Scotland won a fitba game - I’m getting a bit too used to us winning games and am starting to think ahead to next summer and investigate flights and hotels to Austria and Switzerland. All Scotland fans know this is a dangerous psychological place to be and is likely to be followed by abject pain when we manage to throw it away.
Saturdays game was the usual fare - we had huge periods of being under the cosh and somehow managed to win - we did have more possession than against France.
Kenny Miller celebrating after scoring a goal - ok so it was a rip off of Boyds goal against Lithuania (I think) but who cares 1 - nil up and less than six minutes on the clock.
Lee McCulloch celbrates his outstanding curler into the top right corner - peach of a goal.
The wee man from Springburn scores - yet again - and puts the game beyond the Ukranians
So all these moments made me happy. And made a lot of people happy too I’m sure. All we need to do is beat Georgia and draw with Italy (or hope someone does us a favour and beats France). Its going to be a tough ask and could well in the glorious failure that Scotland are past masters at but even so. If anyone had told us we’d be in this position at the start of the qualifying campaign we’d have thought they were either:
- Off their head
- Drunk
- On day release
- Selection of the above
