We're playing, and matching teams from the top pot of European football. Especially Portugal and Croatia. Ben Doak tore Man City's Gvardiol to pieces all night
Sitting 3rd in the group and a chance to stay at the top table or even qualify for the next phase is a huge credit to Clarke and the players
Need a kind draw next month for the WC Qualifiers
McGinn now only behind Law, Dalglish, Gallacher, Reilly for Scotland goals
I’ve told my missus the same thing.Quote:

Same here, I'd drive the old mare tae his hoose anaw.Quote:

What do you think tomorrow night's lottery numbers will be?Quote:

FT Portugal 5 Poland 1, is that Poland finished as a country ? do we still have to play them on Monday now ?
Don’t think we’ve had a player as quick or tricky as Doak for a long while. He was electric at times and played a huge part in the goal.
Dont think we were great and the red card obviously helps but have played a lot better and not won recently.
He is a throwback and was great to see him skinning the full back and getting to the bye line. Need more players to do that in the modern game.Quote:

Modric's yellow card tonight for complaining will see him out against Portugal
Think he was hacked off that he wasn't the oldest player on the pitch.Quote:

If that happens, and Croatia lose at home to Portugal with there being a three-goal swing, Scotland would be in the Nations League quarter-finals and among the top seeds for the World Cup qualification draw
mon the Stars, Align
just do it
Hoilett scored the winner for Canada tonight
Vente got the last 20 minutes for Suriname. Who'd have thought there'd be Hibs interest on both teams in a Suriname - Canada matchQuote:

As you say though - to see a young Scot play so well against someone so highly regarded was great to see.
We should probably only discuss this once he’s come through Tuesday’s game without ruling himself out for the rest of the season.Quote:
