It feels like a victory... I must be the only one who thinks that game was a borefest! A couple of chances created by each team. No cut and thrust at all BORING! That being said good result for Scotland though. As a spectacle? NADA imo. Edit: I read somewhere that the reason The Thumb is not in the squad is due to lack of playing time with Celtic. Why is Billy Gilmour in the squad if lack of game time is a criteria for disqualification. How many games has he played in the last six months? Lately Scotlands finishing around goal has been awful. Today included. At least the thumb scores sometimes for fun. Just my observation. The reason the thumb isn't getting game time at celtic is his attitude, behaviour and a lack of general fitness. None of those apply to Gilmour he is like a puppy kept on a leash then let go. The game had to be a snorefest for Scotland to get something. Our midfield snuffed out some of Europe's best young talent and I read that Harry Jane (sic) had 19 touches of the ball all night. That is incredible marking.

That last night, was everything I have previously said Scotland have been lacking, guts, drive determination. If only we could develop a striker who scored goals. If only the thumb wasn't a lazy barsteward

On reflection I think England just squeezed the draw!

It was a good result not a great one. A win would have been a great result. Now Croatia on Tuesday will tell us all how the Scottish team really is and what they are about. They need a win as do Croatia. Let's be honest we've seen this script many times before and it has not ended well. 4 POINTS should suffice but wouldn't it just be pure Scotland if we got the 4 points and failed to go through on GD!...oh it could happen u know. But the best of luck to the Scotland team. Here's to hoping, we seem to do that as a living.

I hate being the pessimist but there are little to no goals in that team. It will be a miracle if we beat the Croats by more than one goal.

Saturday: Billy Gilmour could play in every Scotland game for the next 10 years.
Today: Billy Gilmour tests positive for covid.

Too much celebrating after his debut? Let his guard down? Or just bad luck? Hopefully the rest of the team are all ok or BOOM goes the slim chance of qualification. 🤦♂️

Well well, results tonight mean that any win tomorrow will see us through, 1-0 OG, pen, miss hit who cares!
It’s the hope that kills us, meanwhile the expectation which kills England.
Tomorrow will Scotland find a new way to torcher us or can the unthinkable actually happen?
For me Turnbull in for Gilmour and start the other 10 if they suddenly don’t become close contacts or catch Covid overnight.
C’mon Bonnie Scotland 🏴🏴🏴

Can someone, ANYONE, explain to me how this is not close contact??? They are making a mockery of the rules ffs! I see his two Chelsea teammates are now self isolating ( precautionary)after they got together with him on the pitch after the game. Maybe Clarke will find himself watching from home. www.bbc.com/sport/football/scottish
