After failing to qualify for the finals for Euro '80, and only winning five games in eighteen and losing eleven, pressure was mounting on Jock Stein before he embarked on his first World Cup as full-time manager. This qualification campaign began with a 1-0 win in Sweden, thanks to a solitary Gordon Strachan goal. A goalless draw at home to Portugal followed, before a 1-0 win in Israel where Kenny Dalglish scored the winner. A 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland followed, where John Wark equalised Billy Hamilton's strike. A month later Israel visited Hampden and two John Robertson penalties and a Davie Provan strike gave Scotland a 3-1 win. The following month the 1981 British Championships took place, and it climaxed with a famous 1-0 win at Wembley thanks to a John Robertson penalty. The tournament was not completed though as England and Wales both refused to play in Northern Ireland due to problems with the IRA When the next qualifier came around, a win against Sweden would all but guarantee qualification. Scotland took the lead with a diving header from Joe Jordan, and seven minutes from time Andy Gray was deemed to have been fouled in the box, and John Robertson scored the resulting penalty to win 2-0. After the game Andy Gray admitted that he had dived, that infuriated the Swedes and Jock Stein. Scotland's qualification was guaranteed a month later with a 0-0 draw at Windsor Park. In the final match Scotland were defeated 2-0 in Portugal, but Scotland topped the group, with Northern Ireland in second place, and both the home nations qualified for the World Cup finals.
