'I was there in 1982 against that unbelievable Brazil side. I was on the pitch and saw them up close - but I don't think I played!' Gordon Strachan recalls Scotland World Cup memories and reveals his striker solution

""It's a great achievement, because we can all go and enjoy ourselves. When there's a World Cup, if Scotland supporters are there, then it's a better World Cup. We're not expecting anything great. We'll go along there and enjoy ourselves, the supporters.""

""Steve [Clarke] has put in a team that I think, the three [other] teams [in the group] will find very hard to beat. And I'm including Brazil in that, because I think we've got the strength, the height, determination, technique in there, and organisation, they'll make it hard for anybody to play against us.""

""I was lucky that I gave debuts to [John] McGinn, [Andy] Robertson and [Kieran] Tierney when they were just babies, really.""

Gordon Strachan, a veteran player and former manager of Scotland, views the team's participation in the World Cup as a significant achievement. He emphasizes the enjoyment of the supporters and believes that Scotland can compete effectively against strong teams like Brazil. Strachan expresses confidence in the current squad's strength, height, determination, and organization, which he believes will challenge their group opponents. He also reflects on his role in giving debuts to key players who are now integral to the team.
