Disaster Index: 5.1 Entry: The Archive Has Been Consulted Cause: With 38 hours to kick-off, the historical record has been formally reopened. Category: Historical / Emotional Evidence: BBC Sport Scotland has reviewed every Scotland World Cup opener since 1974. The exercise was undertaken voluntarily. The results are known to the editors. Publication proceeded regardless. Historical precedent: Scotland's World Cup opening fixtures: one win in six attempts, three losses, two draws. The draw against Yugoslavia in 1974 is now routinely described as a foundation. The loss to Peru in 1978 is not. Affected parties: Supporters who had successfully avoided thinking about this until Thursday afternoon. Immediate outlook: The record exists whether or not it is consulted. Consulting it does not change it. Filing noted.
