Not just as a Scot, but as Liverpool fan, i'm glad. The media spotlight could have seriously affected the way he plays for Liverpool, for whom he is captain already and maybe england as well would have been too much responsibility and work for him, even though hes a hero.
Also when liverpool are playing shit he already has to carry 10 players on his back - he didnt need to double that to 20.

Gerrard is much more the focus of the media's attention on Liverpool now he's the captain. It would be horrific if that happened for England as well. Terry being captain gives a strong voice in the team on an area where there's less expectation to perform miracles, so it's probably better for the side.
