And we’re done: Scotland 0-1 Netherlands
After weeks of crunching the numbers, of trying to figure out who has to win, lose and draw to allow Scotland a chance into World Cup 2010, it’s now official – the Scots are out of qualifying. For those of you not obsessively watching today, we dropped our last qualifier 1-0 to the Dutch [...]

But the most important bits are also the positive ones – George Burley has his first win as Scotland manager, and we have three important road points. We managed a clean sheet from open play, and we [...]
