This is The Guardian.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly.

Ewan Murray's confidence was capital letters just about justified as Scotland limped to their second win in this international break.

2-1 over Belarus is enough to keep them on track for a playoff spot at the very least.

Northern Ireland are level on points with Germany. If they beat them tonight, that is a big if. Almost as big an if Wales can beat Belgium, they're basically there. The Republic, I'm sorry, Barry. Also, all hail the Faroe Islands, three wins in a row after stunning the Czechs. How good! closer to home on Nottingham Forest

lining up Sean Deich. If you're going to deny us

Ange in the Premier League, at least getting Deich in a row after stunning the checks. How good. Closer to home, our Nottingham Forest lining up

Sean Deish. If you're going to deny us Ange in the Premier League, at least getting Dyshe back would ease the blow. Stevie G says no to Rangers, while Jack Wilshire might be going to Luton. And then we'll be joined by the founder of Grenfell Athletic, a football club set up in the wake of the tragedy that killed 72 people. There's a new documentary out called Beacon of Hope, the Grenfell Athletic

Story, and it's a beautiful film. As always, we'll answer your questions, and that's today's

Guardian Football Weekly.

On the panel today, Barry Glendany, welcome.

Hi, Max. Hello, Jordan Jarrett Brian. Morning, mate.

And from not the top 20, George Elek. Welcome.

Thank you, Max. That's all right. 20, George Elek. Welcome. Thank you, Max.

That's all right. Let's start with Scotland being Belarus. Barcer Jim says, I for one, welcome our play out of shite, but get three points overlords.

Barry, I bet Ewan was sweating after his confidence on Thursday. I mean, as soon as he said, that the Ewan, with the possible exception of his predecessor as Guardian golf correspondent,

Lawrence Dunnigan, is the most pessimistic man I have ever met.

So when he voiced his utter confidence that Scotland would swap Belarus aside out,

the alarm bells started jangling in my head immediately.

And I think it would be fair to say that in this international window,

Scotland have absolutely robbed six points when they're two games.

Like robbery.
