Two going on four, five or six on good night for new Scotland era

Scotland earned a comfortable 2-0 Nations League victory against North Macedonia in Skopje, delivering a first win for head coach Sebastien Pocognoli. Kieron Bowie opened the scoring early with a composed finish, while John McGinn doubled the lead from the penalty spot to equal Lawrie Reilly's tally of 22 international goals. Despite defender Scott McKenna receiving a late red card, Scotland dominated the match.

Tom English notes that the performance signaled positive momentum for Pocognoli's new era, despite missed chances preventing a wider margin of victory. The fixture also marked captain Andy Robertson's 100th international cap for Scotland.
