GORDON'S
THE MAN TO
LEAD THE
COUNTRY
JAMES Forrest was delighted to
hear Gordon Strachan announce
that he was staying on as Scotland
manager for the upcoming World
Cup qualifying campaign.
The former Celtic boss had
considered his future after the
national side failed to reach Euro
2016 but he elected to remain in
the post, with the groundswell of
support he received from the Tartan
Army playing a pivotal part in his
decision.
"All of the boys are really happy
he's staying on," he said. "I like the
way he plays football and training is
really good as well.
"It's high intensity and all the
boys take that into the games, and
all the lads have come out and
said the same thing. We put in a
lot of good performances in that
campaign.
"We were a bit unlucky in the
campaign, but we just need to
get on with and get ready for the
World Cup qualifiers next year.
"I wouldn't say there is regret,
maybe frustration as there was
one game (Georgia) where we
didn't perform but we can't
dwell on it and just take the good
performances into the qualifiers
next year."
