An update? For a Scotland game? But why I hear you say? For one small reason, the solitary Dons player in the squad. Handsome Lee. Would he get a game? Are we going to the match? Questions which simply had to answered.
The answer to number 1 was a resounding yes, which was great news. The answer to number 2? No, we didn't go. Our supposed 'lift' blew it at the last minute. So instead of a wintery, rainy, not to mention smelly evening in Glasgow, I settled down in the pub to watch the return of Maradona to Hampden.
The first 10 minutes looked pretty scary, Argentina were all over us. And that's being kind to Scotland. After one (or that should be several) fantastic piece(s) of skill at the edge of the box, a first time volley from Mascherano followed, and it all looked dangerously ominous. Just moments later, and several one touch passes along the way, the ball was nestled in the Scotland net. 8 mins gone. Waheyyyyy.
I thought the inevitable collapse was on the cards after that. But Scotland seemed to come into the game a bit more, to their credit, or Argentina stepped down a few gears. Never the less, Scotland created a few chances before half time, James McFadden in particular a little unlucky.
The second half looms, and what's this? A smiley faced Lee Miller beaming on the touchline. Splutter.... a Dons player getting a game for Scotland? Surely not!!!!!! Jings Crivvens, stone the crows etc etc.
Lee Miller vs Killie. Just a taster of what he is capable of on his day. As for his performance last night? I have to say I thought he handled himself well. He had a couple of good chances, a turn and shot from about 20 yards and a header from a corner. Can't do his international chances any harm surely? He was certainly better than Iwelumo.
Full time Sotland 0 - 1 Argentina.
Scotland plus points? Certainly the form of Kris Commons. From a Dons point of view? Great to see Miller get a deserved run out for the national team. Lets hope it inspires him to do the huns over on Saturday. Here's hoping. Lots.
