What happened. Sebastien Pocognoli's first game in charge of Scotland ended in a 0-0 Nations League draw with Slovenia in Ljubljana. Scotland struggled in a disjointed first half but controlled the second and created enough chances to win.

• Pocognoli said the match was 'two games in the same game'
• Two debuts and a return for Oli McBurnie featured
• Billy Gilmour returned to midfield alongside Lewis Ferguson

“First half, was not what we expected in terms of structure”

— Sebastien Pocognoli

It is the first of four games in this international window as Scotland adjust to life after Steve Clarke.
