Vogts deserved Scottish stay of execution, says Alexander

GRAHAM ALEXANDER believes the Scottish FA was right to give Berti Vogts a “second chance” even if it might cost the nation a place at the World Cup finals.

The Preston utility man claims the former coach earned the right to have a crack at qualifying for Germany despite a European Championship play-off hammering by Holland.

But having started the new campaign poorly, Alexander admits it became clear that Vogts' time was up.
