BEFORE Tuesday night against England, Ryan Porteous must have thought this international football lark was a dawdle...
Ryan Porteous says that there was plenty for Scotland to take from the defeat to England.In his previous six caps, the former Hibernian centre back had been part of a defence that had allowed just one goal to get past them, and even that was a contentious penalty that Porteous himself conceded against Erling Haaland.
“Listen, this camp was all about getting three points against Cyprus and then testing ourselves against top opposition,” Porteous said. “I don’t think we got our passing game going and while our press was decent, I think we could have been a bit braver on the ball. We didn’t really create too many chances and stretch the game enough.
“But we will learn more by testing ourselves against Pot 1 teams than say the so-called lesser sides.the best way to learn is by winning.“In the last few years we have shown we can compete, look at the Spain game where we competed for 90 minutes. It just wasn’t our night.
