Lambert: Time to lay off Vogts

LIVINGSTON manager Paul Lambert reckons it's a scandal that the former Scotland boss Berti Vogts is still getting criticism.

The ex-Scotland midfielder came out of international retirement to play for Vogts, and he can't believe that the national team's woes are still being blamed on the German.

Lambert said: "The amazing thing is that people still want to blame him now, 12 months after he left, which is scandalous, it really is. I think Walter (Smith) has said the same, that we should leave the man alone. He didn't come here to make a mug of the country, and he tried his best. We didn't do as well as we wanted to do, but he got us to a play-off."
