Scotland 1 France 0

It’s the picture that says: Scotland have just… er… romped to a 1-0 win over World Cup finalists France, with a goal from Gary Caldwell.

Given the French were in the World Cup final, and that’s the first time in seven years they’ve lost a qualifying match, I think that means we’re at least second best team in the world.

And, given Italy - World Champions - are down the bottom of the table in the same European Championship qualifying group, I suspect any fair-minded soul would agree that we’re now almost probably the best team in the world. Magic.

Seems fair enough to me.

No partisanship here then

I was lucky enough to be there and it WAS magic; unbelievable certainly, but magic none the less. Better still, the Hampden atmosphere was finally back to what I remember it in the 70s and 80s… without the rivers of super lager and God-only-knows-what flowing down the terraces, obviously.

I was in a bar in Toulouse watching this. The almost silent mumbling of French fans amid a wee din of English/Scots applause brought a tear to my eye. What does merde mean?
