1 day to go
Bad news for Scotland in the run up to the game. Both James McFadden and Don Hutchison are out through injury. Berti is a past master at getting his excuses in early and often, and this bad news may be repeated many times in the coming hours.
However, as we approach kick-off I think it is time to leave any doubts about the competence of our manager aside and get behind the team. So, I would like to highlight the one piece of good news hidden away at the end of the article about the injuries.
Yes, Scotland are finally getting rid of that bloody awful pin-stripe shirt. I've never liked it and this could be the start of a new era. I see the new kit is to be made by Diadora. Don't they make women's sports gear? Is this related to the nature of the new era?
You may have heard this before but it's a one-off game of 90 minutes and anything can happen on the day. So don't give up hope. Germany may have a mare, or Berti may appoint Willie Johnston as the team nutritionist. Or maybe, just maybe, a sympathetic Scottish waiter will serve up the Germans with baked beans on toast for breakfast tomorrow.
I'd walk a million miles for one of your goals, my Scotland...
