Scotland XI to play Cyprus

If you ever wanted evidence of how we have fallen as a football nation and how far fans’ expectations have fallen, then it’s the fact that some folk seem reasonably happy with that first half. Good grief.

I agree with much of that. The most important thing to do is the result - to build confidence and go towards securing third in the group to protect our ranking.

Absolutely.

I'd take a scrappy 1-0 right now and hopefully a more confident, performance and again 1/2-0 v Kazakhstan on Tuesday.

Three wins and Clarke would be at 50% win rate. Some momentum and sold out Hampden for March!

There's a good squad there. Yes, some areas we are lacking - but NI, Albania, Iceland, now Finland all getting to Euros - we should be there or there abouts in qualifying with this nucleus of a squad. A very very good defender would be a great addition and a goalscorer (let's see Shankland in the second please) and we could be a difficult and decent side.

Welcome to the real world. The heady days of the 70s, 80s and 90s are long gone.

What game are you watching?

I’m not one of the anti-Forrest brigade but he’s hardly touched the ball.

Or you could look at it another way. 

A lot of people on here are living in the past and don’t realise or can’t accept that beating any international team (with the exception of the true minnows) away from home is a decent result. It’s a million miles better than Kazakhstan (who aren’t as good as Cyprus).

 Not that we’ve won yet.....
