Well. The first thing you have to say is that Scotland deserved at least a point. It was a great performance by the players – perhaps unlucky not to get the win. But for that you have to put the ball in the net. We were never convincing about the ability to do that.
A win against Croatia ought to see us through. But they’ve got quality in midfield and upfront and it will be a very difficult game. The other thing that worries me is that they’ve never beaten us. That run has to end sometime.
And we know how this goes. Scotland put in a gallant effort and somehow still contrive to muck it up.
On Tuesday evening Croatia will burst our bubble with about ten minutes to go. Watch through your fingers.
