Scotland skipper Colin Hendry: "It couldn't have been any closer."
England keeper David Seaman: "They shocked me a bit. I was a little bit surprised - it was a hell of a
fight by Scotland."
Scotland defender David Weir"We are 100% disappointed. We felt we played well on Saturday and didn't get the breaks and it happened again."
England midfielder Paul Ince: "We have taken the hard route but thanks to our goalkeeper we are there."
England skipper Alan Shearer: "Scotland were wounded on Saturday but they came here and gave us one hell of a fight."
Scotland goalscorer Don Hutchison: "It was great to get the goal, but disappointing to go out like that. I don't think it's really sunk in among the boys yet that we're not
actually there."
Scotland manager Craig Brown: "All I can say to the critics is tell me any game where one player didn't give 100%."
England manager Kevin Keegan: "I think the critics will slaughter us for that performance. But that's
life."
Keegan again, minutes later: "There is a lot of character in the side and I know you'll laugh but we have a chance to win it."
Former Scotland player Joe Jordan: "Craig Brown will be very proud of the way they played, they performed very
well but the goals never came."
Press Association writer Frank Malley: "At times Keegan and England teetered on disaster. And no-one could have denied the Scots if they had pulled off the triumph of a lifetime."
