Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E hiahia ana a Gordon Strachan kia whakapono nga kaiwhaiwhai o Scotland ki tana huarahi manawanui ki a raatau whakataetae whakataetae Pakeha mo Gibraltar - engari e mohio ana ia kaore pea e puta. E mōhio ana te rangatira o Scotland ka tae mai te ope o Tartan me te tūmanako he nui ngā whāinga - ā, he tere - ki ngā mema hōu o UEFA. Heoi, e whakapono ana a Strachan ka taea e ana kaitakaro te whakatutuki i aua tumanakohanga me te whakaputa i tetahi whakaaturanga pakeke ki te kapa mai i te British Overseas Territory. Ka whakamātauria te kapa Scotland i mua i tā rātau tukinga whakataetae Euro ki a Gibraltar. Ko Barry Bannan o Scotland (matau) e kōrero ana ki a James Morrison i mua i to rātau whakangungu. Ka tae atu a Gordon Strachan ki te huihuinga pānui a Scotland i Hampden Park i mua i te tukinga. I te wiki katoa kua whakaakona e ia ki ana kaitakaro te hiahia ki te tirotiro mo nga whakatuwheratanga kaua ki te rere wawe i nga poi ki mua - a kei te tumanako ia ka utua te mahi. I a ia e korero ana i mua noa iho i tana kawenga i ana kaitakaro ki te whakangungu i te Hampden maroke me te hau, i kii a Strachan: 'Kaore matou e hiahia ki te mataku me te tere ki nga mea. Ka titiro whakamua mātou, ka ngana ki te tākaro whakamua i ngā wā katoa, engari kāore e taea te pēnei i ngā wā katoa. 'Kei reira ngā wāhi e whai wāhi ai tātou ki te haere ki te whakaeke, kei reira ngā wāhi e uaua ake ai. Me manawanui tātou ki te whiwhi i ngā wāhi e whakaaro ana tātou ka taea e tātou te mahi kia angitu ai. I te pātai mēnā he karere tāna ki ngā kaiwhaiwhai kia rite taua manawanui, ka mea te rangatira o mua o Celtic: 'Mā te mea ka taea e rātou, ka whai hua. Engari ka haere mai nga kaiwhaiwhai ki te ngaro i o raatau aukati, ki te hamama me te hamama. E hiahia ana rātou kia kite i ngā whāinga. 'Mēnā he wera rawa te rangi, tērā pea ka nui ake te manawanui engari kāore au i te whakaaro ka pēnei. Ki taku whakaaro ka hiahia ngā kaiwhaiwhai ki tētahi mea hei whakawera i a rātau i tēnei wā tonu. Engari e kore e taea e tātou te whakawai i a tātou ki te whakamātau ki te piro i tētahi whāinga mā te paanga tuatahi o te pōro. He nui te mahi kua oti i a mātou, ā, i ētahi wā ka whakaaro pea koe kāore mātou i te haere ki hea, engari me manawanui tātou, me whakamātau ki te kimi i ngā ngoikoretanga.' Ko Scott Brown...
