In among the euphoria, I do hope that Steve Clarke recognises privately that those substitutions were a mistake.

Even if Christie, Dykes and McGinn were tiring, McBurnie and Patterson together up front was a massively poor call. I am all for shoring things up at the right time, but going 2 up front - particularly those two immobile huddies - put huge pressure on our defence and midfield.

McBurnie for Dykes and bringing on another defender was the correct call - the players got him out the crap and he wont get away with that again.
Spot on. Clarke has proven himself a very good coach but those subs were beyond belief unless he knew more about the condition of those he was bringing off. It certainly wasn’t obvious from watching on TV. He’ll watch it back and I’m sure he’ll learn from it. Paterson shouldn’t be near the squad. McBurnie looks lazy, strolled around. You could of been excused for thinking he had been on the entire game. Thank god he got away with it.
It’s been years since Scotland last got me that excited. What a boost for the country and the Scottish game. I’ve also got a new found respect for Christie. Roll on June.
