Diego Maradona, who scored his first goal for Argentina in Glasgow three decades ago, makes another debut in Scotland tomorrow. This time, he’s Argentina national soccer team coach and opposing fans will welcome him as a hero. His spot is so secure in Scottish hearts that fans still sing about him to taunt the English.

However, Scottish Assistant Terry Butcher, who was member of the 1986 England squad feels quite differently, “I don’t think anyone in the Scotland squad wants to beat him more than I do,” Butcher, 49, said. “I’ve got my own agenda. I’m 4-1 to get a red card in the tunnel. It would be the “Fist of God.’”

“Everything for him is either black or white, all or nothing, hand ball or stunning goal,” says Mora Y Arujo. “In two years time we’ll be in the World Cup or he’ll be in the coffin.”

Wow.
