Scotland's qualification for Euro 2028 is all but assured, but Pocognoli will be looking to get his team past the group stage, a historically insurmountable hurdle for the Tartan Army. The former Belgium defender has introduced eight uncapped players to the Scotland squad, with fifteen of the players in the original Scotland squad for this game not having been at the World Cup under Steve Clarke.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both sides creating chances. Slovenia took the lead through an early goal, but Scotland equalised in the second half. The draw was a fair result, with both teams showing resilience and determination.
Pocognoli will be looking to build on this result and get his team back on track. The next match for Scotland is against Ukraine in the Nations League, and Pocognoli will be hoping to get a win to boost his team's confidence.
