About this episode

The episode discusses Scotland's goalkeeping options for the World Cup opener and the tactical challenges posed by Haiti.

Who should start in goal for Scotland’s World Cup opener—experience or form? Can Craig Gordon really get the nod at 43, or is it time for Angus Gunn to step up? Kenny Macintyre is joined by former Scotland goalkeeper Cammy Bell and analyst John Walker to tackle the biggest questions. What exactly should we expect from Haiti—and are we underestimating their pace, power and counter-attacking threat? Could Scotland be vulnerable if they go too open too early? And tactically, what’s the right call for Steve Clarke? Stick with a back five to protect against transitions, or go more attacking in a must-win game? With big decisions, real tension and the tournament finally here—how ready are Scotland for the biggest stage of all?
