Scotland’s last World Cup appearance still hits hard - and here, the voices who lived it take us right back. Joined by Saturday Show presenters Amy Irons and Steven Mill, Kevin Gallacher and Darren Jackson relive the emotion of France ’98. From lining up beside Ronaldo on at the opening game against Brazil to the noise, nerves and unforgettable atmosphere, it’s all here. There’s pride, pain and plenty of stories — from Craig Brown’s leadership to the Tartan Army following Scotland across France. With reflections on near-misses and heartbreak, this is a powerful look back at a defining moment in Scottish football history.
