Scot Gemmill insists Scotland paid the price for first half wastefulness in defeat to Iceland but saw a huge positive in watching Liverpool kid Ben Doak steal the show.
The Dark Blues under-21s boss believes it was a tale of two halves in a game where his side failed to make the most of a host of chances during an impressive opening 45 minutes before a second half slump. It was Doak who twice passed up chances when clear on goal but Gemmill was full of praise for a player who was part of a hugely experimental Scottish side.
Motherwell 's Max Johnstion, who's on-loan at Cove Rangers, rattled in a first half opener before Iceland netted twice after the break and Gemmill had a special mention for Doak's inspirational display. He said: "We're all very confident of the potential Ben has but he still has to go and do it. He's disappointed he didn't score and he's on the treatment table after taking a sore one. It's very exciting and there is a lot to look forward to but that 20 minutes of the second half is the real learning point.
