A win in Warsaw has sparked fresh Scotland optimism after Steve Clarke’s side ended their Nations League A Group 1 clash with victory.
It looked as if relegation out the group containing Portugal, Croatia and Poland was imminent, after the latter cancelled out John McGinn’s opener in the sixth and final match of this section. But Andy Robertson’s second half stoppage time header sees Scotland living to fight another day through a 2-1 win.
The nation will compete in a play-off to try and preserve their A League status, with a win also maintaining slim hopes of a Pot Two spot for World Cup 2026 qualification.
Pundits were out in force last night via the airwaves, live-stream and social media. Here’s how nine of them responded to a big Scotland win.
