You Have To Say That's Magnificent: World Cup songs

This time, more than any other time, will they get it right? This is a public episode.

You Have To Say That's Magnificent: Scotland v Brazil

Scotland face Brazil for the fifth time at World Cup with the upcoming clash this summer, making this fixture one of the most frequent in World Cup group stage history. From the stalemate of 1974 and Billy Bremner's chance to seal victory, through the delights of the 1982 clash of great goals for both teams, and the narrow defeats in 1990 and 1998, it is a fixture which has been closely fought more than not. Aidan, Steven and Lewis are back to run through the past clashes and look ahead to the 2026 edition. Who will be the Bremner or Mo Johnston, or who will be the David Narey or John Collins?

Scotland make their long-awaited return to the World Cup this summer after a 28 year absence filled more with misery than near misses.
