Keep calm and carry on: Scotland manager’s message amid worst scoring run in 55 years

Scotland manager Sebastien Pocognoli has urged his squad to stay calm and trust their tactical plan following a 3-0 Nations League defeat to Switzerland at Hampden. The loss marked Scotland's fourth consecutive match without scoring, matching their worst goal drought in 55 years. Center-back Jack Hendry received an 11th-minute red card, severely hindering the team's ability to compete.

Despite the setback, Pocognoli confirmed he has no intention of abandoning his 3-5-2 system ahead of Saturday's match against North Macedonia in Skopje. He commended forward Oliver McBurnie for his disciplined and hardworking display under difficult circumstances, while defending tactical adjustments that saw Kieron Bowie substituted early to bring on Stephen Welsh.
