McLeish urges Scotland to make history

SCOTLAND manager Alex McLeish has urged his players to make history when they face world champions Italy in tonight’s crucial European Championship qualifier.

Previous meetings between the two nations have not been kind to the Scots, who have failed to register so much as a draw on Italian soil in four attempts.

In fact, the only time they have managed to score against the Azzurri in their own backyard was Kevin Gallacher’s consolation strike in a 3-1 defeat in Rome 13 years ago.
