Re Marshall’s positioning all those on the bench must’ve seen where he was so why did nobody warn him to go back a bit ?

Why didn't he get back to his goal? Forget the people who could have told him he was being stupid, he should have known better. Goals like this have happened before.

I've thought about it. Marshall gone from qualification hero to zero.

He's a solid enough keeper and I'm not for binning him off based on one thing but Craig Gordon gets the England game on principal.

It was an error of judgement and it was a bit unfortunate how quickly the shot rebounded in the correct direction for a quick attack. It wasn't a howler of a mistake. He otherwise had a good game. It wasn't what lost us the game.

I don't think there is much between the two keepers and dropping Marshall for that incident would be too harsh.

what’s the thoughts for tonight??

I’m going nervy 1-0 win for scotland (mcginn to score!)

[Driver101]

Scotland have only won two games at the Euros.

3-0 v CIS on 18th June 1992.

1-0 v Switzerland on 18th June 1996.

[Zen_Master]

1-1 draw after Scotland take an early lead and then concede after 90mins

[malks222]

apparently the only people to score for scotland at the euros have been a ‘Mc’
mccoist
mclaire
mcallister
mcstay

doesn’t leave us many options for scorers in the game- mcginn and mctominay?!? do we rename him che mcadams?!?

[Drive Blind]

I've been here too many times before.

We'll lose in the typical scottish fashion - eg actually play quite well but miss a sitter, concede an og, victim of a bent ref or dodgy VAR decision.

I'm watching it at my mates who has bought a new telly this week. Maybe not the best idea as it might end up with a beer bottle through it.

McGregor, McLaughlin (if he’s more attacking than Marshall…!)

I’ll take that… I’m golfing in the morning so I’ll need to burn bright and early!

I hope Scotland can do it against England.

It Must be nice for Rangers fans though, getting two national anthems to sing along to.

[Terzo123]

This is getting set up nicely for the usual Scotland hard luck story.

[Driver101]

Hanley is going to score.

[Driver101]

I'm normally critical of Hanley, but he was brilliant tonight.

Dykes was very good too. Sadly winning the ball didn't fall to anyone else.

We were the better team.

Croatia score in the 89th minute and knock us out? Probably

[JuniorD]

England were definitely not better than Scotland, far from it. So turgid. Scotland badly miss Leigh Griffiths or someone like him.
