Why North Macedonia boss is convinced they can end horror run against Scotland

North Macedonia boss Goce Sedloski is convinced they can end their horror run with a win against Scotland this weekend.

Rangers striker Bojan Miovski was the last player from North Macedonia to score a goal for them and that was in a 7-1 defeat to Wales last November.

They have a worse scoring drought than Scotland, which stretches to 607 minutes and six games.

North Macedonia extended their winless run to ten games with a 2-0 defeat to Slovenia in the Nations League as Scotland were going down to Switzerland.

And despite it being over a year since they won a game - which was against Liechtenstein - Sedloski is convinced they can turn it around when the Scots visit.

He said: "We will continue to work hard and I am happy with my squad.

"The process will not happen overnight.

"In the last two matches we have been using new players. Naturally it takes time and I think the victories will come.

"But it is not easy, we are playing against really strong national teams.

"We are no longer playing against Liechtenstein or Andorra. Now we are playing against Slovenia, Switzerland and Scotland.

"I hope that the attack will click. We need patience, but the goals will come."
