Goals here from our 5-0 defeat to Forest in the Community Shield. on 21:52 - Aug 4 by PJH
No, that was Willie Johnston.
Yep, Willie Johnston was that man - another good player of the time. Robertson would probably failed any pie, booze or fags test (as would many players then), but boy, could he play.
78 was the World Cup of Ally’s Army. The Scots talked up their chances so much they virtually had a bus parade before they left for Argentina. Oh how I laughed when it all went pear shaped.

They had one or two good players though. A choice of Souness, Gemmill, Hartford, Masson and Rioch in midfield plus Dalglish, Jordan and the previously mentioned Robertson and Johnston. Some good defenders too.

Yes, they certainly did. Under achieved really. They always seemed to have a hapless goalkeeper. Kenny Dalglish was one of the best players I ever saw play live. Not sure if Wark and Burley made that squad - I think their time was 82 in Spain but I may be wrong

Wark, Burley and Brazil were in the 1982 squad.
Alan Rough was the 1978 goalkeeper.

thanks for posting this. I don't think I have ever seen the goals before. I was not at the game as we were on holiday at the time. I was 12. Was at the Cup Final in 78 though so I'm not crying myself to sleep over it. :)

Scotland v Iran - "And that seemed to go straight through Alan Rough" as Iran equalise. Later, some great footage of the hapless Ally MacLeod with his head in his hands, sitting in the dugout while some crazed Jocks give him dog's abuse from a few feet away.

Yes.
Actually their were a hell of a lot of very good Scottish players about in the 1970's and 1980's and most of the leading English teams had two or three of them but all they lacked as a National side was a reliable goalkeeper.
