Two friendlies bridge the gap between 2016 and 2017, and we use the opportunity to trial a new defensive tactic, which will be needed if we are to make up ground on Ukraine.



GK - Bell
DEF - Bardsley, Grimmer, Wilson, Martin
MID - Dorrans, McArthur, Kennedy, Phillips
FOR - May, Rhodes

15 - Scotland 1-0 (May)
23 - Scotland 2-0 (May)
45 - Paterson replaces May, Whittaker replaces Bardsley
72 - Scotland 3-0 (Wilson)

A decent, if somewhat pedestrian, performance.



Liam Thomson (20yo defender from Hibs) is making his debut for Scotland.

GK - Marshall
DEF - Whittaker, Thomson, Wilson, Hanley
MID - Ness, D.Fletcher, Kennedy, Snodgrass
ATT - Paterson, Rhodes

15 - Slovenia 1-0 (Vuckic)
45 - Slovenia 2-0 (Matavz)
45 - S.Fletcher replaces Rhodes, Brown replaces Ness
55 - Slovenia 3-0 (Matavz penalty)
70 - Rhodes goal for Scotland is overturned
82 - Slovenia 4-0 (Matavz)

A crushing loss, although it's only a friendly. We don't seem to have any cohesion or confidence!
