Spanish players bemoaning the Scottish tactics of provoking them, time wasting and theatrics when slightly touched. Rodri on this occasion being the biggest classless loser.

Players like Robertson, McGinn, Porteous etc will absolutely love those comments from Rodri. In Spain same again - set up to upset Spain and play them at their own game.

Exactly. Think Rodri and the rest of the Spanish team wanted us to roll over and let them play through us…. Eh naw. Grass was too long blah blah what next the rain was too wet?

I have been critical at times of Clarke but he got it spot on last night so credit where credit is due.

He is partly right, of course - but his comments were partly deflection for a home audience (and media) who will be giving it to them tight this morning.

Spain - in the same position, if under pressure in the last 15 mins - would be falling over at every opportunity and wasting time, it is annoying but we all know it happens.

It also shows that we have got right under their skin, their players know it, as do ours.

Same again in the return fixture please.

Porto immense last night

I thought in the first half, there were a couple of times he went back into trying to con the ref rather than just be strong and win the ball, clear the danger.

Apart from that he showed again he is a fantastic player and much better than some Hibs fans gave him credit for.

If he was just to kick everything that moved, some folk would be blowing smoke out his arse, but he's a footballer, and a bloody good one at that.

Robertson was extremely lucky not to get a red. Idiotic from him.

It's called being streetwise Rodri, your nation have been at it for as long as I can remember.

I expected him to walk, especially with Var. Players need to catch up that they're on the telly for the full match, and won't get away with these types of things normally. He got away with it tonight. 🙏

What a night though.

[ronaldo7]

Respect to the players for taking the ball under pressure. Every one of them never shirked their responsibility. Great tactics on having Rodri shackled. Every time he wanted the ball, a Scotland player was on him.

Yes I agree, was looking forward to how he would perform last night and he was outstanding.

Tom English is a dick but love this quote from him.

Everybody stepped up. Everybody. If the aristocrats from Madrid, Barcelona and beyond weren't aware of the legend of Ryan Porteous, then they're aware of it now.

It was daft and I always think he’s got that ‘act the hard man’ wee touch about him in those moments. But a red would have been ridiculous in my opinion.

Actually maybe having VAR there could have been a help for him last night. But don’t tell anyone I said that!

Spain were worse in every department (okay with the exception of time wasting as they didn’t have anything to waste time for). That’s what made his comments so silly and sour.

It’s a red more times than not these days, especially with VAR. We dodged the proverbial bullet there.

Nah, it's never a red in yer life, it might have been if he raised his elbow but just barging the shoulder into a chest will never be a straight red.

If you want to know why winding up the opposition can be such a weapon, watch the last 20 minutes of Spain kicking the ball out of play. Absolutely shattered them.

absolutely, use everything you can to disrupt the game of the opposition


our neighbours use the tiny pitch at the tinydome to their advantage

Scotland's chances of qualifying directly for the Euro 2024 finals have surged to 73% from 42% after winning their opening two games.

Having topped their Nations League group last year, Scotland have a second chance of making it through the play-offs should they fail to finish in the top two in Group A.

Taking that into account, Clarke's side have a 82.9% chance overall of being among the 24 teams taking part next summer.

For all the criticism he gets on here, he comes out with this!!!
Former Scotland manager Craig Levein

Talking to BBC Sportsound
"Things happen in football that are quite weird sometimes, McTominay isn't getting a game for Manchester United and he's now using all his energy to do as well as he can for Scotland.
"It's one of these things that's fallen into place. His performances have been incredible, he's got athleticism not a lot of players have got. He's bursting a gut to get into this position and it's worked for him, and for the team.
"Ryan Porteous would throw himself in front of a train for Scotland! It's brilliant to see and the punters love that."

I think he was helped by the Spaniard ridiculously going down holding his face which clearly wasn't caught. If Robbo had slightly caught him near the face he walks I think.

Win the remaining 2 home games and win in either Cyprus or Georgia and I think that means we qualify.

Simple’s

Yep but for that pearl of wisdom you have to listen to hours of crud.

Watched Georgia and Norway both teams will be very hard to beat especially in June where our results tend to tail off. Certainly did last season with very poor performances against Ukraine and Ireland. 4 points out of they two games would be excellent
