SCOTLAND v AUSTRIA / EUROPEAN QUALIFIERS / FIFA 2022 WORLD CUP<br />
26<br />
SCOTLAND 2<br />
AUSTRIA 0<br />
Wednesday 2 April, 1997<br />
World Cup Qualifier, Group F<br />
A brace from Kevin Gallacher put<br />
<strong>Scotland</strong> seven points clear at the top<br />
of their World Cup Qualifying group<br />
the last time they hosted <strong>Austria</strong> in<br />
competitive competition in 1997.<br />
The Blackburn striker’s goals were his<br />
first for his country in three-and-ahalf<br />
years as he linked well with strike<br />
partner Darren Jackson. It was the<br />
latter’s parried shot that Gallacher was<br />
on hand to tap in to open the scoring, as<br />
John Collins, Gary McAllister and Paul<br />
Lambert kept the visitor’s talismanic<br />
Andreas Herzog quiet.<br />
Gallacher’s second goal was a sublime<br />
dipping diagonal volley as, by his own<br />
admission, he crowned his “greatest<br />
night in a <strong>Scotland</strong> shirt”.<br />
