Ewan Murray was at Hampden, and his report is in. Here it is! Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
It’s now one win in 16 for Scotland, and ten matches without victory in competitive fixtures, but at least they’ve snapped a four-game losing run. Tonight’s point also gives them a fighting chance of avoiding automatic relegation to League B. Perhaps most importantly, they didn’t suffer any last-minute heartbreak: a fifth match in a row, after late winners for Hungary, Poland and Portugal, followed by a late disallowed goal in Croatia, would have been too much to bear. A good evening for Steve Clarke and Scotland, then, even if it’s all to be taken in context. Baby steps, small acorns, all that.
