Scotland draws 0-0 against Slovenia in Pocognoli debut

Scotland secured a 0-0 draw against Slovenia in the first match under new manager Sebastien Pocognoli. The game was marked by a disjointed first half where the team struggled with accuracy and intensity, failing to register a single shot on target for 38 minutes.

In the second half, the performance improved as Scotland became a more attacking force. Despite the lack of goals, several players showed promise, including Robbie Ure, who hit the post, and Kieron Bowie, who missed a significant chance. Oli McBurnie, returning to the squad after a five-year absence, also featured prominently but failed to convert a one-on-one opportunity against goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

The match also saw the senior debut of Stephen Welsh. Scotland's next Nations League encounter is scheduled against North Macedonia at Hampden.
