JAMES MCFADDEN has branded Tuesday night’s clash against Austria as MASSIVE after Scotland staggered to a 1-0 victory over Moldova.
The former national team No2 reckons the clash against Austria, who lost 5-2 to Israel last night, will be crucial in the bid for second spot in the World Cup qualifying group.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Tartan Army favourite Faddy said: “I think the most important thing is winning the game, especially now with the result in Israel for Austria, it makes the game on Tuesday night massive.
“A massive game and it could take us a long way to getting that second spot.
“I would’ve liked a few more goals but I think the most important thing is getting the win.
“It’s the same old problem, we’re not clinical enough in front of goal.
“We had good chances and we just haven’t been able to put them away. It’s not just one person that is guilty of missing them, it’s throughout the team.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
