To be in Germany these past few weeks is to understand the enormous power of football in Scotland and its ability to mobilise people in the most extraordinary way. The singing of Flower of Scotland before the Switzerland game in Cologne did not come from the larynx, it came from the heart.

And now all of them with eyes on Scotland versus Hungary in Stuttgart on Sunday.
