Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua kōrero a Gordon Strachan ki ngā kaiwhakahaere o Rōpū Whakatōpū e haere mai ana, kia rite mō ngā wā ka ruarua rātau i tō rātau ake kaha ki te angitu. I korero te rangatira o te kapa motu o Scotland i te huihuinga korero i te papa whakangungu o te Hotera Mar Hall o Scotland i nga taha o Glasgow i mua o te whakataetae takirua e tata mai nei ki a Northern Ireland me Gibraltar i Hampden Park. Ko te mātakitaki i te whakangungu whakangungu o Strachan i mua atu ko nga kaiwhakahaere penei i te rangatira o Dundee a Paul Hartley, Alan Archibald o Partick Thistle, Hearts' Robbie Neilson me te rangatira o Norwich City a Alex Neil, he waahanga o te roopu e mahi ana i a raatau Raihana UEFA Pro.

I hoatu e te kaitakawaenga o mua o Scotland etahi tohutohu ki nga kaiwhakahaere Scottish e haere mai ana.
