  2. Scotland manager Ally MacLeodSNS

    "My name is Ally MacLeod, and I am a born winner..."

    The Scotland manager's bullish assertion will be put to the test against Netherlands.

    Put simply: the Scots must beat the Dutch by three clear goals in Mendoza to progress in the 1978 World Cup.
