	Burns claims Vogts turned Scotland into winners \| News \| Guardian Unlimited Football
		Public words of support for Berti Vogts were as rare as victories for Scotland during his spell as the national coach but his former assistant, Tommy Burns, has launched a staunch defence of the man he feels laid the foundations for the present success enjoyed by the German's successor, Walter Smith.
		Burns, who has remained in the Scotland set-up as assistant to Smith, is keen both to tone down the euphoria and highlight the work done by Vogts in moulding the current side.
		Burns, however, warned the supporters not to be overly downhearted if Scotland fail to return a positive result against the World Cup finalists on Saturday.

		I've known Tommy for years and he is a great guy.
		We were in the Scotland camp, and Tommy knew I hadn't been enjoying the best of seasons because of bad results and problems I'd been having with an ankle.

	Reading FC Match Report (vs Preston NE)
		The whole second half was Burns' style football with it being played on the ground all over the pitch with Reading in control - a complete change from the first half when Preston took full advantage of the hit and hope hoofing Reading were making us suffer with.
		It felt like watching Branfoot football again - everytime the ball was played forward by Preston we'd hoof it back into their half, they'd hoof it back, etc, etc. A load of headers and volleys - very scrappy and Reading looking more like a Sunday league side to be honest.
		When the half got underway it was clear Burns had said something at half time to make a change.
