Big Eck called it. He always did to be fair. I bumped into my old Hibs gaffer McLeish in a Stuttgart bar a day before the Hungary game and he was fearing the worst for our must-win Group A clash.
I was like a burst couch after 10 days in Germany but big Alex was in top form. Unfortunately Scotland played like I felt and a Euros so memorable for all the brilliant scenes off the park was finally over after another instantly forgettable performance on it.
McLeish told me he was worried there was a lot of over-confidence going into the Hungary game. He knew the Magyars were no mugs.
More to the point he was concerned about Scotland’s lack of creativity in the first two games. He said they’d sit in and we’d struggle to open them up.
