Scottish nail in CIS coffin
NOWiKOEPINC Sweden, June IB Scotland, with nothing lo show after two fighting displays against
Holl .nd and Germany, went out <>l the European Champion-
ships with a flourish here Thursday by beating the CIS 3-0. reports AFP
Scotland's loyal supporters add two to cheer early In the first half from Paul MeStay and Brian McClafr and a Gary McAllister penalty seven min ulcs from time completed a magnificent night.
The CIS. a team without a country to (tail home, needed to win to stand any hope of go tng into the last four.
But the ex-Soviets, who had held both Holland and Germany lo draws, had not counted on Scottish grit and determination not to slide out of the tournament without a goal
Unlucky lo go into the match with nothing to show from their two previous games. Scotland s excellent win salvaged a good deal of pride.
MeStay put Scotland ahead in the sixth minute when he got hold of a knock on by Davie McPherson from a corner. His shot from the edge of the area caught Dimitry Khazin off his hr* bounced against the post and back tn off the keeper as he dived.
McClair doubled the store in the 17th minute when his long shot from the left slipped under Khazin and in at the far post.
The CIS seemed prepared to accept their fate without much of a fight, and there was tittle for the meagre 14.000 crowd to cheer until the final stages
Two low and dangerous shots from substitute Igor Ko-reyev tn the last 20 minutes had Scottish goalkeeper Andy Coram forced into his first
Scotland added a third from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute as big defender Kakhaber Tskhadadze hauled down nippy winger Pat Nevin on the left Gary McAllister stepped up to slot It home and finally claim the reward his ef fort* have deserved through out the three matches
CIS coach Anatoly Byshovets had no doubts as to the reason for his side's defeat. "We. lost because we were not strong enough In attack and wc didn't take our chances." he said with disarming candour
Scotland manager Andy Roxburgh admitted he was sorry to see the CIS disappear, "I actually apologised lo their coach afterwards,' he said Tiut it was only politeness, really. He knows there arc no favours in football. I wouldnl expect any and nor I think would he.
Tm very sad though.'' Roxburgh added. "It's been a fan tastic team and they have an incredible record. That s the first time they've lost in the. entire campaign, and they were in a tough qualifying group with Italy. They didn I lose to the Dutch or the Ger mans, and I think they expected to walk safely into the semifinals.
"But unfortunately for them they came up against a Scot land side who never give up. You can knock us down but wi-Just bounce pack We've never lost three games In a row. at least as far as I can remember, and tt certainly wasn't going to start tonight."
He concluded: To be hon cst, wc won because we got a couple of breaks for a change, as did nt gel against Germany but to be honest we played for the breaks. We couldn t play as openly as against the Germans because I think a few of the players left their legs in the German game. It was a superhuman effort."
Captain Richard Gough said The last two games I have come out from a very quiet dressing room. Tonight I've come out of a very noisy one. I think that says it all "
"I don't think they expected us to play with so much passion. I know Mikhal Ilchenko wasn t happy with us and he told me so when I changed shirts with him at the end In what little English he speaks
