Gordon Strachan stirs dreams for Scotland’s future
A record of just three wins from ten qualifying matches would have been dismissed as the nightmare scenario had it been proposed last September. However, the knowledge that these three wins were collected in the last four outings means there is a sense of momentum surrounding the international team that has not been felt since Alex McLeish, Strachan’s old Aberdeen team-mate, was manager.
Although there have been bleak moments during his own, short reign, Strachan could not be expected to have achieved more than he has to date – two victories over the top seeds in the group as well as promising signs that a system which suits the players as well as pleases the supporters is currently in development, something further evidenced by Tuesday night’s 2-0 victory over Croatia.
