Scotland

Hibernian kick off their almost inaugural early European football humiliations tomorrow night against Slovenia’s most successful club, NK Maribor, in the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League. 

I knew one thing – Scotland were going to win the cup. How did I know that? Because Rod Stewart told me (well, not me personally) on Top of the Pops when introducing Andy Cameron and the Scottish World Cup Squad singing “Ally’s Army”. They were going to Argentina and they were going to win the World Cup. I didn’t see Germany, France or Holland on TOTP so I assumed they would not be even challenging. After all the concept of “hype” does not exist to an 8 year old.
