Alfredo Di Stéfano, can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating!

We probably shouldn’t be waving big meaty slabs of succulent temptation in front of fate’s drooling maw, so apologies in advance to all affected supporters should the worst happen this evening. But facts are facts are facts: Scotland have a surprisingly good record against Spain. Their first-ever World Cup qualifying match that wasn’t part of the old Home Championship was against the Spanish at Hampden in May 1957, and if you think the Scots are underdogs tonight, then this was another level altogether. Scotland’s team was made up from players from Clyde, Charlton and second-tier wastrels Liverpool, while Spain were a glamorous amalgam of the brightest stars from Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Spanish forward line that evening consisted of Ladislao Kubala, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Luis Suárez and Paco Gento. Time to crank that old Sunday Post-o-meter up to 11: jings, crivvens, help ma boab!
