As the tournament begins today, it seems enthusiasm is growing with hopes that Scotland might progress at last. With so many teams and 32 able to go through , it’s the best chance yet. May even be possible, apparently, to scrape through in third place with 3 points. Whilst not an ardent Scotland fan, it would be good to see them succeed although my fear is with the defensive set up which I fear will be the Achilles heel. It’s just my opinion but elimination at the group stage is the most likely outcome. We shall see.
First game v Dumbarton will be played at neutral venue as their new pitch won’t be ready in time
I believe crappielow and Holm Park (Yoker /Clydebank) are being considered
