This Is Radio Tartan Specials

First of all, thanks to Big Eck and the team - it's been a magnificent campaign and we've qualified in past years while playing a lot worse. The future is most certainly dark blue and bring on the World Cup draw this weekend. Now, onto the Tartan Specials on the radio...

Listen to the Tartan Specials on XFM Scotland last Friday before the game. There's some chat with Julyan Sinclair then a live acoustic performance of a special version of He's Got It. Sadly we didn't get the score predictions quite right.
