Another late winner for Scotland has kept their World Cup dream alive and now we have our fate in our own hands. The Tartan Army support at Hampden roared the team home and in truth the Scots fully deserved the result as they bossed much of the game. Slovakia made their own job difficult with […]

Scotland went to Lithuania and produced a fine away performance, winning the game 3-0! The result keeps the Tartan Army dreaming about going to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Although Slovakia’s late winner against Slovenia means our task is still a difficult one. The Scots now sit third in Group F and four points […]

Football has quite a few topics that create great debate and division between those that love the game. Off the top of my head such topics include players not celebrating against former teams, whether a challenge merited a red card or not and should Arsene Wenger leave Arsenal or stay forever. In Scotland last night […]

I stated earlier in the week that Gordon Strachan was wrong to state that Scotland’s game against Lithuania wasn’t a ‘must win’ fixture. Last night the Tartan Army support watched their team play without much in the way of urgency and any real cutting edge. The Scotland team started the game like it wasn’t a […]

I was surprised that Gordon Strachan didn’t select Rangers youngster Barrie McKay for either of Scotland’s friendlies last month. Since the turn of the year I’ve said, on here and on twitter, that I thought the winger was ready to take his place in Scotland’s senior squad.

Deja vu really should be a Scottish expression, especially when it comes to our national team. In 2007, Alex McLeish decided to stick with an exciting Scottish side who were doing well in their Euro’s qualifying group and took on Georgia in Tbilisi. That night the Scots came unstuck and were woeful as Georgia won […]
