A totally unrecognisable team Clarke said he’d put out. I’d say this is very recognisable. Just a friendly to be fair. I’ll probably switch it off at half time.

Scotland qualify for nothing for decades. Now that we are getting to tournaments again it’s not excitement I feel, it’s utter dread. We are still miles off it where it matters most on the pitch. Can’t we just produce a Bale or a Lewandowski? Please!

Looking at the play off finals shows just how well we have done to qualify.
And our record against some of those teams isn`t too bad.
I`m happy if we get there and just put the effort in. I`m not expecting anything amazing given the quality of some other teams. Put a shift in and I`ll be satisfied.

He was decent enough and done more than Adams. Was better than dykes was against Japan too. We don’t have great striker options no matter who’s playing.

Ultimately it’s our lack of an even half decent striker that will always be our undoing.

I like Dykes but when a striker of his limitations makes it to 50 international appearances then that tells you all you need to know. Better second half from Scotland. We were aggressive and put in an effort but couldn’t score to save ourselves.

Absolutely toothless, only one side looked like scoring in the second half. Countless crosses that were easily defended.

Quite wasteful in the final third. A number of times we got into an area where it would have been worth having a ping but instead an extra pass was made. A frustrating watch.
I saw the BBC headline that Foden started as a `false 9` tonight. Maybe we just start all of our very good midfielders with McTominay as the most advanced?

Ivory Coast aren`t as good as Japan but they`re a decent side and ranked well above us in the FIFA rankings. We need McGinn and McTominay to stay fit! Surprised Lennon Miller didn`t get a run out.

Yes, two games and zero mins for Miller. What’s the point ?

I thought Hirst was actually ok tonight, and Conway has done well at Middlesbrough. Neither are earth shattering and wouldn’t be surprised if both missed out, but they are certainly worth a look and COULD be key players in time.
