Scotland 9 7 0 2 17 7 21
Italy 9 6 2 1 15 7 20
France 9 6 1 2 15 3 19
Ukraine 8 4 1 3 10 9 13


Hows that for a group? A long way to go though - but the performances recently have got me interested again after being so disappointed under Brown & Vogts. At last we have a Scotland team playing for one another & willing to go toe to toe with anyone again.

Credit where credit's due.  Great result.

What are the odds for England and Scotland to be drawn in the same group in the Euros?

Yep full credit to Mcleish and the players - on paper in fairness the team looks weak, no big players, a Man Utd reserve as captain and hopes on McFadden who cant get a game at Everton.

But yet again - they show the addage that football success is based on good players working hard.  Yes France are a far superior team on paper, but u have to take that on to the pitch.  often that doesnt happen and when it doesnt by working that bit harder you can sometimes get a result.  Bit like Northern Ireland v England 2 yrs ago.

Well done Scotland and good luck in the rest of the group

We saw that with England as well.

Barry, Heskey, Wright-Phillips - none of these players get a start if Second Choice Steve has a fit squad to pick from. They come in and play above themselves.

 sitting above the World champions after 9 games with 3 to go , having beaten France home and away ,  2 games to come at home  , the suggestion that Scotland will qualify may have been comedy at the start of the campaign , right now , as we are top of our group and ahead of 2 of the biggest national football teams in the world , it is a reality.

 just sad some people can't give credit where credit is due.

i will give scotland credit and man they proved me wrong last night and i am so over the moon

i still dont expect us to quailfy we need to get 7 points out of the last 9 including games against the ukraine and italy

dont get me wrong i will be the first out celebrating if we make it but i dont think we will and at present i will

say we are about 20-1 to make it to the finals but it will make it all the more special if we make it

rather than the normal "we could do it this time" followed by the last minute failure


come on big eck your the man that can do it for us

[boldie]

I think the main game for Scotland will be the Georgia away game..if they don't bugger that one up they will qualify. I'm sure they'll beat the Ukraine..and if Italy wins all their games a draw between Italy and Scotland would do them both nicely and should see them both through so that should be the final point.

[BigTomatoes]

 no reason why we can't beat Ukraine and Georgia , we have proved we can beat any team at Hampden and the players will be really up for these games imo. I think a big factor in the improved results is the resurgence of the Tartan Army , there is an atmosphere and buzz about the international games now and i think that'll come into play in the next 2 games.

 even if we dont make it to the Championships , this campaign will have been the best performance i have seen from Scotland so far , i will have great memories from these matches , and just hope we can make the Finals , one time , just one time.

I agree..other than Scotland ussually making a mess of things against teams like Georgia they should really be OK now.

a draw aint food enought for italy as france are only a point behind them
