AGDNISING ANDY
Attertheirdisconcertingly successlul start in Oslo, where they beat the Norwegians 2—1,Scotland‘s quadrennial quest tor World Cup qualification gets properly underway this lortnight with the visit to Hampden of Yugoslavia (Wednesday 19,
l
7.30pm).
As anyone will know who heard the horrilic lirst halt hour at last year‘s Yugoslavia v England match, or saw Scotland‘s 6-0 home victory in 1984, the Slavs are notoriously inconsistent, often because at their inability to field a settled side. Nevertheless, it is certain that Andy Roxburgh will have spent the past lew weeks going over the strengths oi the Yugoslav team with the Scotland squad: while some critics are convinced he should spend more time encouraging our players to believe in their own abilities ratherthan engendering a tear ottheir opponents in them, at least the Scotland boss, unlike some at his predecessors, cannot be accused of vacuous optimism.
As our illustration shows, the somewhat academic Andy has yet to win the lull respect at some key players. Although the big talking point at the Norway match was the substitution oi Roy Aitken, it will take more courage to omit the Celtic captain trom the starting line up altogether: it he does, Roxburgh will have proven his commitment to skillul tootball, and will have shown he is not the SEA yes man so many punters still think he is.
One thing is certain: it Scotland lose this match, the cries iorthe reinstatement as Scotland manager at the great Ally McLeod will grow louder and louder. (Stuart Bathgate).
