Isak watch: Sweden conceded an equaliser in added time of their 2-2 draw against Slovenia in Ljubljana, a match in which Alexander Isak had nothing more than a watching brief.
The Liverpool striker was left kicking his heels on the substitutes’ bench for the entirety of the game by his head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson but may get a run-out against Kosovo on Monday unless he goes on strike and starts agitating for a transfer to less mediocre country such as Spain or Argentina.

Steve Clarke: "We have to keep our feet on the ground"
“A good start,” says Scotland’s head coach in a BBC interview. “It was a very disciplined performance, which we needed it to be. We created enough going forward as well which was good to see. We defended well. Souttar and Hanley at the back were outstanding but you could go through the whole team. It’s only one point. We have to keep our feet on the ground.
“Aaron [Hickey has] had a really tough time with injuries and he showed the qualities he’s got. Being able to pick him again is an absolute pleasure. I always had in my mind that I’d need to make changes across the two games. I know what I’ve got in that squad. We can just go game to game and pick up as many points as we can.”
