‘Disgraceful abuse’ prompted Vogts’ resignation

BERTI VOGTS admitted yesterday that he had little option but to quit as Scotland coach, blaming what he called “disgraceful abuse.”

The Scottish Football Association confirmed last night that the German’s resignation had been accepted by Scottish Football Association chiefs John McBeth and David Taylor.

A decision was expected to be made after a board meeting on Thursday but Vogts felt that he could not go on any longer.
