Scotland 1 Slovenia 2: Early blow for Pocognoli project as Scots beaten again

Scotland suffered a 2-1 defeat to Slovenia at Hampden Park, marking manager Sebastien Pocognoli's second consecutive home loss. Ryan Christie opened the scoring for the Scots before halftime after Oli McBurnie teed him up following a rebound. However, second-half goals from Aljosa Matko and Danijel Sturm secured the comeback victory for the visitors.

Graeme McGarry notes that Scotland's defense struggled throughout the match, leaving goalkeeper Angus Gunn exposed on multiple occasions. Pocognoli introduced Kieron Bowie, Robbie Ure, Findlay Curtis, and Josh McPake in the second half, but the referee waved away late penalty appeals as Slovenia held on for the win.
