SCOTTISH SPORTS SUMMARY
SCOTTISH FA SELECTORS WILL HAVE TO RECTIFY WORLD CUP BLUNDER
By "MAC"
The Scottish Football Association selectors have made one of the biggest blunders over the World Cup. There is still time to rectify it but they are afraid to do so in case they "look silly."
That is the opinion freely held in top Scottish soccer circles on the decision: to send only 13 players to Switzerland for the Tournament.
