Mind Games.

On Wednesday, Scotland will play Argentina in the most important game of all time. Argentina have pulled out the big guns, dropping the ineffectual Lionel Messi and appointing football management tsar Diego Maradona. All in an effort to return home to buenos aries with the spoils of a victory against Scotland in their back pockets.

Scotland might not have better players but one thing they should be able to rely on is a more dysfunctional manager. The tartan army have a manager who is so controversial that he sometimes refuses to select Rangers players and has he ever paid the price with infamy.

But with Diego Maradona managing the opposition, Scotland has to buck up its ideas We need somebody a little more controversial. So Mr. George Burley, either go back on the bottle and forget to wear your trousers to the press conference, or Scotland will appoint the management team of Frank McAvennie and Andy Goram with Donald Findlay QC in the Gordon Smith role. Scotland cannot lose this game before they get out on the pitch.
