World Cup qualifying: ‘Scotland cash in almost 30 years of glorious failure as dreams come true’
There’s a feeling, given Scotland’s strange qualifying run, that this night of all nights was written by the stars.
Luck Luck was mentioned, but there was no chance of McTominay leaping the height of Finnieston Vinci and delivering an ugly bicycle kick.
In Scotland, not once, but twice, the team failed to respond as it looked like the national team would find a new way to break the hearts of five million against Denmark’s 10 men.
One supporter said ahead of the game that he felt Scotland had cashed in on almost 30 years of spectacular underachievement. Another fan said Clarke and his players must have sold their souls for this opportunity.
If that’s what it takes to witness such an event, the Tartan Army might be happy to wait another thirty years for the next one.
The thought of Andy Robertson and John McGinn dragging Scotland’s bad luck bag to the football gods in exchange for a spot in the World Cup is quite the image. After all, there’s a chance this could be their last move.
The two absolute titans of the Scotland team, Robertson and McGinn (both 31), were the life and soul of the post-match celebrations.
The emotion gushing from the two stunned Kieran Tierney. Boy do they deserve this.
And that’s before you try to make sense of the emotional Hokey Cokey in the stands. A bedlam against anxiety. Anxiety to heartache. Heartache to turmoil. Bedlam to heartache. Heartache to turmoil. Bedlam against unbelief.
