Who exactly is this big showstopper parading around Europe in dark blue shirts is the question many are asking.
Who exactly is this big showstopper parading around Europe in dark blue shirts and what precisely have you done with our national team? Because watching Clarke’s Scotland no longer feels like the chore it’s always been supposed to be. All these years of being conditioned into believing it was meant to bring about a permanent state of anxiety with the occasional stop off at deep despair? All gone. Replaced by a wonderful sense of joy and enlightenment.
Honestly, what is not to love about this team which sits top of Group A with a record breaking five wins from five and even history in its sights? With so very much at stake, it ought to have been an absolute stress-ball of an ordeal. What mattered most of all was that Clarke got yet another tune out of his players with next summer’s finals now within touching distance. And, within six minutes of the first whistle, they were another huge step closer when the advanced McTominay headed home a quickfire opener. The warning signs had flashed moments earlier when Gilmour carved the Cypriot defence open with a delightful fizzed pass into the path of Andy Robertson.
In truth, they staggered a bit for the next wee while and almost enough to give the hosts some encouragement as they took aim at the goal of Angus Gunn without failing to find the net. It was all over before the sides headed off up the tunnel for some half-time liquids. Not that long ago 10 pints wouldn’t have made such a scenario seem possible. And it could have been put to bed for the night along with the travelling fans in 55 minutes when McTominay slid in on the end of another dazzling attack to bundle Robertson’s low cross wide at full stretch.
