The Tartar Army is
still in, with a double dose of wins over Lithuania and Malta, the heat is on
for Gordon Strachan Boys that after their weekend feats these are in a two-way
tie in Group F.
So far tie with
fourteen points with Slovenia and Slovakia siting pretty in second place with
fifteen points, these affair can be for anyone and Scotland can catapult to
second place.
With their last two
matches in October to close against Slovakia at home in Hampden Park and later
going against Slovenia in Ljubliana, the Tartars needs two wins to aspire to
one of those second best finishes and maybe net a ticket to the second half
playoffs.
It will not come easy
for Gordon Strachan Scotland bunch.
After their weekend
opener against Lithuania and delivering a notable win that uplifted the Scots
spirits and looking forward to Monday’s compromise against modest Malta, the
result for their second match depended surely on a win.
Very well, the result
against Lithuania at Vilnius to a 3-0 rout was enough for the Highlanders to
start something serious in their quest to deliver and looking unstoppable in
their drive and momentum.
With goals from
Stuart Armstrong 25, Andrew Robertson 30 and James MacArthur 72, sealed the
deal against the Lithuanians at LFF Stadium.
A nice 2-0 win at
Hampden Park put the Scots in a vital spot to deliver the unthinkable of
putting on a fight and maybe deliver an all-around miracle to netting a pass to
the grand fete of football to celebrate in Russia this 2018.
Again, the likes of
Christopher Berra 9 and Leigh Griffiths 49 were enough for the Scots to deliver
a significant win over the Maltese at home to the roar of a frantic Hampden
Park.
As September
delivered perfection to the Tartan Army with a double set of wins and England
defeating the Slovaks at Trnava, delivering perfection so far for this month
and opening the prospects of delivering the unthinkable.
In the words of
Strachan, this time for real, after their past EUROS flop, it is now or never
for Scotland!
Their destinies are
in his Boys ambition and determination and the way to deliver a one of kind
afternoons in October against the Slovaks and Slovenians with a couple of wins
the Scots can wrap this up with style and within a step closer to Siberia.
At the end, there is no
stopping these Scotland Boys but with a couple of obstacles called Slovenia and
Slovakia, that stand in the way, despite this endeavor looking a bit difficult
but not impossible for this squad looking forward to deliver the ultimate of football
glories.
