2. Scottish Swedish Adventure - £12.79

Scotland’s Swedish Adventure is the definitive story of Scotland’s journey into their first ever European Championship finals, in Sweden written by Glasgow writer John Bleasdale. Having qualified for five consecutive World Cup finals between 1974 and 1990, it was surprising the Scots hadn’t yet reached the Euro finals given the array of talent at their disposal. Andy Roxburgh would soon change that, and after being drawn into the ultimate ‘group of death’ that included the reigning European and world champions, his side repeatedly put on brave performances against superior opposition to make the nation proud. Scotland’s Swedish Adventure explores the story behind their road to qualification, with exclusive insight from some of the men who made this adventure happen, including Roxburgh himself, players, journalists and fans.
