Levein 'very positive' despite car crash night at Hampden

CRAIG Levein put what sounded like a unique interpretation on Scotland's World Cup campaign last night when he claimed taking only two points from the first available six had done no damage.

'You look  at the table  and it doesn't looking damaging  at all, does it?'
'You look at the table and it doesn't looking damaging at all, does it?'

The manager, whose team was booed off the pitch for the second time in four days, said he remained "very positive" despite Scotland taking only two points from the opening Hampden double-header against Serbia and, last night, Macedonia. His assessment was that Scotland were only two points behind joint Group A leaders Serbia, Belgium and Croatia. That overlooked the obvious fact that Scotland have already dropped four home points before facing either of the strongest- looking teams in the section, Croatia and Belgium.
