they need maximum points against russia to set up a potential winner—takes—all finale with japan on sunday. pauln some of these scotland players step out of the tunnel tomorrow, it could be their last appearance for their country at a world cup. of course, that's not the scenario any of them want to contemplate more experienced members of the squad but the pressure to turn over russia and japan is being keenly felt. it is a massive burden on the players. but we are players good enough to do this and we have made this 31 man squad and whatever team we pick from that 31 man squad is dared to do the job and everyone is capable. so it is exciting and good for some of the guys that have not had the opportunity to play in a high—profile game. the stadium already witnessed a huge upset when japan stunned ireland, another surprise result would eliminate the scots. under normal circumstances the scotland match against russia here would not draw a huge amount of attention but with the funnel of attention but with the final group came againstjapan looming large and some that local interest has been ramped
