Thanks for reading this MBM. A good performance by Scotland … and what a kit!
Steve Clarke talks to Viaplay Sports. “Result good, performance good in parts, there are bits we can improve on … historically we don’t always start campaigns well, so it’s nice to get three points and look forward to a fantastic night on Tuesday … it’s nice when you look at the bench and you need a bit more energy and you put on a Ryan Christie and Scott McTominay … towards the end we got the reward for that … Angus Gunn’s handling was clean and his kicking was good … I did tell him to check his studs at half-time after he slipped and managed to sit on the ball, which maybe shows he’s got a little bit of luck on his side! … there have been many afternoons at Hampden when Scotland are 1-0 going into the last ten minutes and the place becomes very nervous … credit to the players who kept believing … on the whole we defended well … we need to work a little bit on the press, we didn’t get that quite right … but if there’s nothing to work on, it gets boring, eh?!”
He also reports that Che Adams has a calf problem.
