The Hotline became the Scotline this morning as the Tartan Army sounded the war cry ahead tomorrow’s Scotland England clash at Hampden.
Eleven qualifying wins on the spin does strange things to a fanbase. And it’s got to be said, the strength of belief in Steve Clarke’s players going into a match against the Auld Enemy is very, very unusual.
Not that it’s a bad thing though. Hampden is set to roar and with a bit of luck so are Clarke’s troops. Stephen Mulhern emailed: “I understand the Scotland v England match is only a friendly however the incentive is there for Andy Robertson and his teammates to record a victory over England for the first time this century.
The game will be played like a cup tie and I believe Scotland can win 1-0 with John McGinn running the show in midfield.” David Kirkpatrick, Glasgow, said: “I really hope Steve Clarke puts our strongest XI out against England even if it is a friendly.
