Is this the most famous Scotland result ever? Back in September 2007, Alex McLeishโs men turned up to Paris thinking of doing the impossible, getting the double win over the French in qualifying.
It wouldnโt be easy though with the likes of Anelka, Trezeguet, Ribery, Vieira, Malouda amongst other big names starting. Despite their star power they couldnโt get passed Craig Gordon in goals.
The hero of the night though was James McFadden, whose 30 yard strike beat Landreau and amazingly Scotland did eventually get the double over the French in qualifying and a first win in France since 1950!
Who made the trip to Paris? What are your memories of the game?
@footalyse I firmly believe refs and linesmen are now scared to make on field decisions, as they have a fall-back of VAR to step in and confirm/correct their decision, albeit the clowns behind VAR canโt even give the correct decision to the refs half of the time.
Re-watched Sunday's final and my lasting impression is we played like a team who was drilled to nullify Rangersโ threats. Whilst for large portions of the game the team's defensive shape was compact, it came at the expense of any form of creativity or progressive build up
@footballontnt Will Still had led Reims to an 19-game unbeaten run in all competitions. At 30 years old, heโs the youngest manager in Europeโs top five leagues
Reims paid a ยฃ22,000 fine each time Still manages because he doesnโt have his UEFA Pro licenseโฆ
