Duncan Ferguson has a message for critics of Scotland’s World Cup performances: get over it.
The former Everton striker insists that if Scotland reaches the knockout stage, no one will care how they looked getting there.
Scotland has never advanced beyond the group stage in its World Cup history. That drought could end in Miami, where the team sits third in Group C after victories over Haiti and Morocco.
Ferguson, who earned seven caps for Scotland between 1992 and 1997, points to a new mental resilience in the squad, highlighted by a notable qualifying win over Denmark.
Now they face Brazil. A draw or win would secure a historic knockout berth. The match is more than 90 minutes-it’s a chance to break a decades-old curse.
