You Have To Say That's Magnificent: We Won't Be Coming

Scotland make their long-awaited return to the World Cup this summer after a 28 year absence filled more with misery than near misses. Aidan and Steven are joined by the excellent Lewis Ness to discuss Scotland's lengthy spell in the international wilderness. We talk disappointing results, disappointing coaches, 4-6-0 formations, and the lows, as well as the occasional high points before the rise under Steve Clarke, and Lewis' very specific predictions for the coming summer. Will Scotland be coming home too soon, or can they boogie their way to the knock out rounds? This is a public episode.
