“I think we’re as good as Poland and the Republic of Ireland, that’s for sure. Absolutely – and we have proved that up until now," added the former Celtic manager, whose team must avoid defeat against Lewandowski and Co to avoid elimination.
“Some teams have a Gareth Bale and they don’t need passes. They just need to give it to him and it ends up in the back of the net. Lewandowski is another one. “We don’t have that kind of player so we need to work at everything we get. Look at our goal against the Republic – there were eight passes before we put the ball in the net. The goal here against the Republic was an intricate passing move from a corner kick. There is no individual producing goals from nowhere, we’ve had to work at everything.”The size of the task ahead of Scotland on October 8 (and Ireland three days later in their final game) is perhaps best illustrated by the goals for column: between them Ireland (17) and Scotland (14) have scored only two more goals than Poland (29). Lewandowski may have scored 10 of those goals, but four came against Gibraltar so, you know. Over-rated (god help us).
