Thought Souter had a good game as well

He’s a good player and a really good lad, met him many times

[Stairway 2 7]

Some finish, really hard to keep that down. Best Scotland player in decades, Hampden is his home

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

We're playing, and matching teams from the top pot of European football. Especially Portugal and Croatia. Ben Doak tore Man City's Gvardiol to pieces all night

Sitting 3rd in the group and a chance to stay at the top table or even qualify for the next phase is a huge credit to Clarke and the players

Need a kind draw next month for the WC Qualifiers

[Trinity Hibee]

McGinn now only behind Law, Dalglish, Gallacher, Reilly for Scotland goals

I’ve told my mrs many times before if she wants to have an affair make sure it’s with John McGinn, I’ll actively encourage it and raise any children as my own

I’ve told my missus the same thing.

Unfortunately I think due to head to head we need a win.

As our head to head is even with Croatia a win would quite possibly see us 2nd whilst a draw would see us 4th. That 97th penalty for Poland is a bitch.

Still 4th in the group. Need to win in Poland.

We’ve actually handled ourselves pretty well in this group and should have had more points. Stupid errors, particularly in the Poland game, have cost us.

This set up is crying out for Mcginn

What do you think tomorrow night's lottery numbers will be?

[cabbageandribs1875]

that's us back in front in games v Croatia

W-3
D-3
L-2


one of the draws a 1-1 friendly

took them six games to finally beat us



FT Portugal 5 Poland 1, is that Poland finished as a country ? do we still have to play them on Monday now ?

[Heisenberg]

Don’t think we’ve had a player as quick or tricky as Doak for a long while. He was electric at times and played a huge part in the goal.

Dont think we were great and the red card obviously helps but have played a lot better and not won recently.

He is a throwback and was great to see him skinning the full back and getting to the bye line. Need more players to do that in the modern game.

[Bishop Hibee]

On the Edinburgh Tartan Army bus back to civilisation. Great result. We’ve played better recently and lost. Doak was excellent. Only 18 too. Bring on the Poles!

Modric's yellow card tonight for complaining will see him out against Portugal

Think he was hacked off that he wasn't the oldest player on the pitch.

Victory in Poland on Monday will earn relegation play-off place




If that happens, and Croatia lose at home to Portugal with there being a three-goal swing, Scotland would be in the Nations League quarter-finals and among the top seeds for the World Cup qualification draw

just do it

Vente got the last 20 minutes for Suriname. Who'd have thought there'd be Hibs interest on both teams in a Suriname - Canada match

I was intrigued as to all the recent interest in the importance of ‘left sided centre backs’, because id never really noticed it when watching defensive players, so i looked into it a bit last year. Guardiol was universally considered by everyone i read to be the best in the world in this position, which really puts what Doak did last night into perspective.

Do we need to beat Poland by two?

If we win 2-1 and Croatia lose 1-0 we’d scrape in on tie break 9.

Yes and was awarded MOTM. They play again on Tuesday night.

Which kind of begs the question why is he getting hooked every game with 20 to go when playing for us? Someone with his technique and ability on the ball is exactly the sort of player you want when trying to hold onto a lead

I hadn’t thought the “left sided centre backs” thing was a thing… until watching Hibs this season.

I guess we’ve had Paul Hanlon there for what is essentially a generation.

Prior to the Hanlon era I don’t think it was a thing at all, with plenty of right footed players being accomplished at LCB including many at Hibs.


As you say though - to see a young Scot play so well against someone so highly regarded was great to see.

We should probably only discuss this once he’s come through Tuesday’s game without ruling himself out for the rest of the season.

Thought he came of the bench? Did he not only play 10-15 minutes?

You’re right he did, that’s my bad. Saw he finished the game and assumed he started as was given the award.
