    We'll take it though - roll on Ukraine on Tuesday, should be a fascinating match.

    Can they be relegated...?

    Maybe coming to end of an era under their World cup winning manager?

    Early exit from the Euros and not in great shape atm.

    Players in the team that I don't know. Maybe they are going through a period of transition.

    I fear for Scotland's chances against Ukraine tonight - four key defenders injured, two main strikers hit by a virus, and McTominey suspended thanks to a stupid yellow card late on in the match against Ireland.
    Such is life in football I suppose.:(

    No, it was taken from an interview Giaretta gave to the Italian press after the Sunderland game...

    Scotland as profligate as us in front of goal - barely a minute in and they're gifted a chance to score, but miss...

    One for Fez to explain - the ref wrongly awarded Scotland a penalty for handball - overturned by var. The defender had knocked the ball out for a corner but the ref then restarted the game with a dropped ball to the Ukraine goalkeeper - why not a corner?

    Because the game was stopped to check for a penalty, no penalty so dropped ball to the goalkeeper

    At least that is what happens in Watford games

    Ukraine really should have scored when the ball was blazed over from 5 yards out. Will they have 11 players on the pitch with 3 booked already?

    Which is why we always seem to lose out

    My answer was partly a joke because no one knows why any refs make the decisions they do

    The ref has been kind to them really - they should have had more than that. Mudryk should have had a second before he was subbed off.

    Well done to Scotland.

    Top ranked UK team in the Nations league - that will give them something to crow about.
