I attended that match in Malaga v USSR in 1982! IMO Stein's loyalty towards a full back called Danny McGrain proved to be his undoing in not qualifying for the latter stages of the'82 World Cup - that was the 'talk of the Tartan Army' in the pubs in Malaga, Torremolinos and Benalmadena at that time - a big mistake by Stein who refused to recognise that McGrain's career was over at international level and that was a decent Scotland side that he was managing!!
