| McLeish urges his players to ditch inferiority complex and beat Italy
IF SCOTLAND are to defeat Italy tomorrow, they must first ensure they do not defeat themselves, according to Alex McLeish. The national manager has seen the confidence of his squad increase as this Euro 2008 qualifying campaign has gone on, but thinks an inferiority complex may still be inhibiting the players from realising their potential. McLeish's team will qualify for the finals if they take all three points at Hampden, and he is determined to ensure they do not underestimate themselves against the world champions. Although accepting that both the Italians and group leaders France are blessed with more finesse than his own players, he is convinced his team's two victories over the French show they can also upset the odds against the Italians. .
