Andy Robertson and his team mates battled valiantly. But their efforts were ultimately in vain. They they must learn from the outing and produce an improved showing when they face Spain away in Seville next month. Here are five things we learned from the “friendly” encounter.Clarke stuck with the same starting line-up which had taken to the field for the Euro 2024 qualifier against Cyprus in the AEK Arena in Larnaca on Friday night.
It was one of the sternest tests the Scotland back three of Kieran Tierney, Jack Hendry and Ryan Porteous had faced together. The time and space which Bellingham was given on the ball when the visitors broke on the counter attack early on was a concern for their followers. He redeemed himself in the second half when he forced centre half Maguire, who had come on for Marc Guehi at half time, to turn his low delivery into his own net and then found Lyndon Dykes, who came on for Billy Gilmour, and John McGinn with crosses. Both men headed just wide.
Both players picked up cautions from the match official when calm was restored. But Scotland failed to lay a glove on their age-old adversaries for much of the 90 minutes. They must get back to hurting teams with their play on the park going forward to seal their spot at another major tournament.The physically and mentally draining outing in the Mediterranean last week may have taken its toll on Scotland. They were far from their brilliant best.
