Tam Cowan: 'I feared I'd wake up and find VAR had awarded a 3-2 to Spain'

Salvador Dali, Antonio Banderos, Rafael Nadal, Montserrat Caballe, El Cid, Pep Guardiola, Julio Inglesias (and your laddie Enrique), Nacho Novo, ehhhhh, Manuel fae Fawlty Towers… Your boys took a helluva beating!

Some start for Humza Yousaf, eh? Barely in the door at Bute House and we’re horsing the former European and World champs at the fitba’! We should have given him the gig YEARS ago. (Aye, good auld Humza. The first person of colour, the first Muslim, the first person in his thirties and the first son of immigrants to be First Minister. Oh yeah, and the first FM who cannae go a scooter.)

I still can’t quite believe we beat the mighty Spain 2-0 on Tuesday night. Knowing our luck, I half-expected to wake up on Wednesday morning to discover VAR had awarded a 3-2 victory to the visitors. Tell you what, folks, if you thought Vladimir Putin’s table was pretty spectacular, check out Group A of the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
