Scotland and World Cup 1978

A great story by Archie Gemmill - player on the Scottish 78 World Cup side that featured Willie Johnston being bounced from the tourney for taking a pep pill. This is an extract in the timesonline today of his book to be coming out soon.

Good read of the continuing saga of the Scots who always manage to find a way of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
