Sebastien Pocognoli handed UEFA warning for Scotland debut as Under 21 coaches hit with bans

UEFA has warned Scotland manager Sebastien Pocognoli over his future conduct after he kept match officials waiting during his debut against Slovenia. The Nations League fixture in Ljubljana ended in a 0-0 draw, while the hosts were fined £1,250 for fans throwing missiles. Scotland subsequently lost 3-0 to Switzerland, won 2-0 against North Macedonia, and lost 2-1 in the return leg against Slovenia.

Meanwhile, Scotland Under-21 coaches Tony Docherty and Steven Naismith received one-match touchline bans for unsporting conduct. The disciplinary action followed a brawl during their 2-0 win over Bulgaria, sparked by Simeon Shishkov's tackle on Aberdeen youngster Dylan Lobban. Shishkov and Bulgarian coach Svetlin Spasov were also handed one-match suspensions.
