The dust is settling on Scotland’s latest big game flop but what lessons can we learn from the Ukraine defeat?
MICHAEL GANNON: Scotland need our best players on the pitch and in form. We missed the likes of Kieran Tierney and too many key men were off the boil or on the back of tough seasons. We lost faith in the play that got us to this stage and went back to timid, long ball football.
ANDY NEWPORT: That we're better as a team when we're on the front foot. Scotland were passive during a tepid opening half and paid a heavy price. We should have chased and harried them like we did to Denmark back in November.
FRASER WILSON: That unfortunately we still rely on a couple of key players in the big games. Without Kieran Tierney and with John McGinn and Che Adams having off nights we were blunt. The back three doesn’t work without Tierney inside Andy Robertson and if one is missing another set-up must be found.
