So, to finish an evening of Caledonian distress, right here’s Ewan Murray’s report.
This was a night on which no a part of the Scotland crew functioned correctly. They have been slack in defence, non-creative from midfield and powder puff in assault. The star of the present was 17-year-old Konstantinos Karetsas, who’s unlikely to stay at Genk for lengthy. This baby-faced murderer tortured the Scots.
And with that, the night’s fixtures shall be taken care of by Michael Butler.

“I’ve been watching the Icelandic nationwide crew lose matches for many of my 4 many years plus on this Earth, however it’s seldom been this grim to look at. Even at their most restricted, and there have been years after we had barely anybody of expertise, we might at the least belief the crew to make an effort. As soon as Kosovo equalized, no matter self perception that they had abandoned them. The actually dumb foul that received our previous captain despatched off was a symptom of the sport already being misplaced, not a trigger.”
