Jack Hendry red card addressed as Sebastien Pocognoli delivers verdict on Scotland performance

Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli refused to blame Jack Hendry following the defender's early red card in a 3-0 home defeat against Switzerland. Hendry was sent off in the 11th minute after a VAR review upgraded an initial yellow card for a foul on Dan Ndoye. Ricardo Rodriguez scored from the resulting free kick, while Nico Elvedi and Zeki Amdouni added further goals to seal the Nations League victory for Murat Yakin's side at Hampden.

Pocognoli praised the attitude and resilience of his players for fighting with 10 men despite the frustrating result on his Hampden managerial debut. Scotland have now gone four consecutive matches without scoring for the first time since 1971, and they will look to rebound in upcoming fixtures against North Macedonia and Slovenia.
