Sebastien Pocognoli began his tenure as Scotland manager with a 0-0 draw against Slovenia at the Stozice Stadium in Ljubljana. Despite an uneventful first half, Scotland showed signs of improvement and grew dominant later in the match, drawing an encouraging reaction from traveling supporters.

Pocognoli fielded a three-man defense featuring Jack Hendry, Scott McKenna, and Stephen Welsh, alongside wing-backs Aaron Hickey and Andy Robertson. In attack, Robbie Ure partnered Oli McBurnie, while Bournemouth winger Ben Gannon-Doak started the contest on the substitutes' bench.
