Scotland Football

Answer: Gibraltar

The 2016 European Championship saw the total number of qualified teams increase from 16 to 24 for the first time, meaning the top two teams in each group qualified, with the third place teams entering into a play-off round. Scotland lost only three games, twice to group winners (and 2014 World Cup winners) Germany, and away to Georgia. Unfortunately, they drew four games and because of this they finished fourth in the group. To add insult to injury, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland would all go on to qualify for the tournament, meaning Scotland were the only 'home nation' not involved.

Answer: First team ever to be eliminated without losing a match

Answer: Clydebank

In 1977, Clydebank became the first club in Britain to have an all-seated stadium.

Answer: Berti Vogts

Vogts was a member of West Germany's 1974 World Cup-winning team, and managed the unified Germany to victory at Euro 96.

Elgin City and Clachnacuddin both have 14 Highland League titles each, Clachnacuddin winning the first of the new century in 1900/01. Elgin City should have had 15 along with Caledonian, but the title they won in 1992/93 was withheld by the Highland League association and no champion was recorded for that season. Buckie Thistle have won 8 Highland League titles during that time, while Inverness Thistle won 7 Highland League titles before their merger with Caledonian in 1994. Peterhead, who won 5 Highland League titles before their move into the Scottish Football League, won the final Highland League title of the 20th Century, beating Huntly by four points to take the title at the end of the 1998/99 season.
