We're Going to Wembley is the fascinating tale of how a team that was written off after failing to qualify for USA 94 came roaring back to restore Scotland’s football credibility by reaching the Euro 96 finals.
Having earned plaudits for their efforts at Euro 92 in Sweden, Scotland went into decline during the next 18 months, culminating in the disastrous World Cup qualifying campaign for USA 94, which saw manager Andy Roxburgh depart and the gradual break-up of the squad.
Roxburgh’s assistant, Craig Brown, took the hotseat, plus the daunting task of rebuilding faith in the side. Although the squad no longer possessed genuine world-class talents such as Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness, they had a remarkable team spirit that would carry them to the finals, and provide a dream ticket to Wembley to face the Auld Enemy.
We're Going to Wembley is the inside story of that rollercoaster ride, told through interviews with Brown, his players, journalists and fans.
