Not too shabby. Steve McFadden is better at football than he is at acting it seems.

It's a ridiculously tough group that Scotland are in. Still have to play Italy and Ukraine at home and Georgia away. Gonna be tough.

You consider Georgie and Ukraine as 'tough games' by that definition, every game is 'tough'. I would say comparatively they are quite easy games!

Georgia away won't be easy, and the Ukraine are ranked 15th in the world.

We still need 7 points from 9, so I'm not getting carried away yet. Still, even if we don't qualify, we should be high enough in the FIFA rankings not to get hampered with being 4th seeds for the World Cup qualifiers.

As far as away games go, they dont actually GET much easier, I'm not saying any game is 'easy' just when compared to the other games Scotland have/will play they are ranked pretty low in difficulty!

I'm sure you'll still cock it up and prove me wrong

Well tough for a team like Scotland

Ukraine are a good team, world cup quarter finalists last year. And I assume Georgia is quite a tough place to go to although George Kinkladze is long retired.
