The Story in 60 Seconds

Former Celtic defender Jack Hendry was sent off early as Scotland suffered a 3-0 defeat against Switzerland in the Nations League at Hampden. Hendry received a red card in the 11th minute after a VAR review ruled he fouled Dan Ndoye just outside the penalty box, denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. Switzerland promptly capitalized on the resulting free-kick, with Ricardo Rodriguez firing past goalkeeper Angus Gunn to open the scoring.

Switzerland extended their lead 10 minutes into the second half when Nico Elvedi converted from close range. Zeki Amdouni added a third goal in the 82nd minute after Gunn mishandled his effort. Scotland manager Sebastien Pocognoli, who brought on Stephen Welsh following Hendry's dismissal, now prepares his squad for an upcoming match against North Macedonia.
