Scottish football has been in the doldrums for a long time and it has been a timely boost Walter coming in and following it up with the result against the Italians.

Live television is always stressful and the more you do it, the more you realise what can go wrong.

I think when people talk about ambition and talking to him, it might have seemed that he wasn't ambitious.

I go by records and Bob Paisley is the No 1 manager ever!

The second half was easy to sum up - and absolute shambles! (on England losing to Denmark 4-1)

If you come up and are struggling after three months you need the money to be able to buy somebody who can give you a bit of impetus.

These guys live and breathe football; they get something out of going to the training ground every day.

The media want the stories and the television companies want the stories and the papers want the story and means that it is everyday.

I've watched the current squad three or four times and I think that survival will be the first aim, but Keegan has got this way about him.

The Italians are very strong defensively. They showed in Euro 2000 how good defensively they are.

What I always do is just look at the players, look at the best 11 they can put on the pitch.

We got stuffed 4-1, but it was just great to play against, it was like an education. You think you are half good and then you go and play against a side like that!

I don't expect to see them in the top six but I think of all the teams that have come up in previous seasons, I think Manchester City are the biggest club.

Speed is what makes the Premiership exciting. The millions who would have watched Manchester United and Chelsea would have seen a non-stop game in which the pace was electric even though the first half was a non-event. You could see a better technical game in Spain but for sheer frenetic movement there is nothing that comes close... Pace is more critical in the Premiership than in any other major league and if you don't have pace, you have to compensate with power or ability in the air and since Shevchenko has no power and is not particularly good in the air, he is in trouble.

The problem England have got is that if they don't win the group they will play the French and if they play them, they will be beaten.

Andy Gray is a great pundit and a great co-commentator. I couldn't co-commentate for love nor money. I've tried but I just can't do it, so as an all-rounder I'd say Andy's much better than I am.

It's 14 years since I left the club and that first-half performance was the worst I've seen since. It was devoid of quality, devoid of ideas, and worst of all, devoid of fight.

Even though they won't finish in the top four this season, they will still be of the contenders next season.
