Scott McTominay
I think he deserves his own thread.
I was watching the previous two Scotland matches and I felt sorry for McTominay. He probably didn't know what he was signing up for when he snubbed England. I bet he doesn't regret his choice, though. He appears to be very much akin to Darren Fletcher, not just a blonde midfielder at Manchester United, but also his humility, his down-to-earth character and his will to listen, learn and develop.
Ever since he broke through at United he's been targeted
Fine.
Let's play the percentage game.
Scotland first entered the World Cup fray in 1954. (We qualified for 1950, but we withdrew, so that's null and void)There's been 17 World Cups where Scotland have attempted qualification:
We've played with a back four for 15 of those campaigns. Qualifying for 7. (46% success rate)
We've played with a back three for two World Cup campaigns. We qualified once. (50% success rate)
For the European Championships, we've participated in 15.
