Great result on back of an extremely soft penalty. Israel match is now massive especially with their goal difference being advantage being wiped out by a 5-0 thumping off Denmark.

VAR penalty has Scotland 1-0 up. Never a penalty. Fully expect ref to even this up at first opportunity.

Finished 1-1 with Turkey equalising in second half. Scotland had some decent chances to win it.

Scotland 1-0 up Glen Middleton with the goal.

U21 team for game against Turkey.

Given we have taken in a player who has only scored against Tonbridge in the FA cup in two spells in the English lower leagues to take his squad place I would say he has already been asked to leave the last chance saloon.

Listening to Clarke and Calum McGregor on SSN there both mentioned how important it is not to lose. Clarke also expects a back lash from Austria after the gubbing they took at weekend. Fully expect us to set up negatively.

Had forgotten about Rooney. Also a far better option than Paul McGinn.

Ruth away to Falkirk on loan.

McGinn ahead of Ramsey is just mental.

Agree with Rico one of few pleasures from last night was watching Gilmour in the flesh. He is a great player. After watching Patterson last night he is a good player but Ramsey is already a better player. We have a real star on our hands and Scotland are well covered at right back now. However overall last night was very disappointing. Despite having a number of shots very few actually troubled their keeper. We will not get anywhere near as many chances in Vienna on Tuesday. I am not convinced any of our strikers are good enough to convert any of the few chances we get.

Well that was pish. From the Omni shambles trying to access the ground to finishing the game with 5 defenders on the field against Moldova. Did their keeper have a decent save to make. Not a chance we finish better than 4th in this group.

I only got the message during the maintenance. Been fine since.

To be fair to Clarke Nisbet was injured for Wednesday night but agree he should be getting more game time than he does. Tierney did have a poor game by his standards. Has his confidence been knocked by mess Arsenal seem to be in. Wednesday showed again we have not got the grass routes development right. Denmark have a similar population size to Scotland but regularly produce teams that are better at football and more tactically aware than us. Very few if any of our squad would have got a game for Denmark on Wednesday. No idea how we put that right but not running the game for the good of two clubs might be a starting point.

Lewis Ferguson now a full international.

Been better in second half but that’s mainly down to Denmark fucking off to the pub at half time.

It’s actually Robertson. 2-0 down already. This could be 5 or 6. Cutting through us at will.

Team for Denmark game tonight. Guessing Tierney to right back?

Bit disappointed we did not go for Kerr if that was asking price as he is better than Bates or Gallagher. Saints fans are going ballistic and quite rightly so as the players have been replaced by loan signings with little first team game time or players with injury issues.

Very surprised nobody left yesterday. We have 7 central midfield players at the club who all do very similar jobs and Kennedy who is clearly not rated by the management. Disappointed we never brought in a creative number 10 as we have nobody for that role. Can see us struggling to break teams down especially while Hedges is injured. Also think we are very light at the back as only have 2 centre backs and a midfielder playing there. Plus point is keeping Hedges and Ferguson as they are two of the better players at the club. Be interesting to see how Ferguson reacts to not getting his move. Hopefully he gets on with the job and does not spit the dummy and sulk for rest of season.
