Burley confident his better team will win

George Burley insists the confidence he has in Scotland beating Macedonia in tomorrow‘s do-or-die World Cup qualifier boils down to the simple belief that his side are the “better team”.

The under-fire Scotland boss will arrive at Hampden knowing that unless all three points are garnered against the second-placed Macedonians, then next Wednesday’s final Group Nine match against Holland at Hampden becomes meaningless – and he will almost certainly be out of a job.
