Looking at the teams that could be in the play-offs, we're certainly one of the weakest. 

Seeding would maybe help, but it could end that we have to beat somebody like Portugal, Spain or Croatia. Or even two of them. 

 

Aye it's going to be extremely tough to actually qualify

People need to recall how we actually performed in the last major tournament against good opposition.  We seem to think beating teams ranked FIFA 80 to 100+ by the skin of our teeth proves how good this squad is. You think? 

what about beating top 30 ranked teams ?

Would you rather Scotland played The Faroes off the park yet lost 1-0 to a late goal?

I bet you’d celebrate a goalless draw against England like it was a win 🤦‍♂️

Are you really suggesting that tonight's result is a greater achievement than drawing at Wembley?

We're not a bad team, but we're not a good team either. 
We got to the last Euros because of 2 penalty shoot out wins, but our level was exposed against the Czechs and Croatia. And that's the kind of level we'll be facing in the play-offs. 
There are fleeting glimpses that we can compete at a higher level.....against Serbia, England and Austria....but it would be nice to see that on a more regular basis. 
 


No way, did we? You'd have thought someone would've uncovered this smoking gun before?

Right now they are in the play offs, we aren’t.

That's not how probability works though. Our probability of making the play-offs is now extremely high, probably well over 90%, so the fact that Austria are already guaranteed a spot doesn't really impact hugely on our relative chances. The fact that they will be unseeded is more relevant than the fact they've already qualified.

a win is a win but christ that was a hard watch far too slow doing anything,lucky not to be behind at the break...70 mins gone needing a goal and he brings on macgregor....terrible.

100% the right change, and it should have happened earlier. Introducing a player who will help us pass the ball better and gain more control of the game is a way of helping us win.

Barring us scoring an early goal, I was always expecting this to be a hard game, and we've essentially achieved exactly the same as a much better Denmark team did in this fixture. 

The disappointment is that we're getting the odd big performance/result under Clarke and I keep expecting us to kick on and improve, but we don't. Produce a similar performance against a rotten Moldova team and our current good position is in danger.
