What They're Saying
Scotland head coach Gordon Strachan (via Daily Record): "The players have not got to where they are without treating games properly or by taking people for granted. 
Rest assured, that just won't happen. You just had to watch their intensity in training on Tuesday when they were playing 
amongst themselves to see their hard work. We've got to treat Gibraltar with respect, but our players have not got to where they are in football by taking shortcuts."
When asked about Gibraltar, he added: "There are no world-class players out there, but they are a good 
bunch of lads who have worked hard and many of them have taken themselves from lower leagues to where they are now. I've said before, I imagine we'll get about three minutes on Sunday before the fans get anxious. We've got to treat Gibraltar with respect, but our players have not got to where they are in football by taking shortcuts."
