Decent display from most of the Scots. Cyprus scored early on and although the ball clearly crossed the line, in the absence of Uncle VAR and with both linesman and ref doing an Arsene impression (I did not zee dis), Scotland got away with one. But from that moment on, The Scots controlled the game and Christie scored with a sumptuous strike. Naismith and McGinn are doing a headless chicken act but most others are doing well, although I do not see Gallacher and McKenna as the answer to our central defensive woes. Also if Cyprus do score it will almost certainly come from someone's head. We look a bit "wee" at the back, Gallacher and McKenna excepted. McGregor and Jack look a good double act in midfield and Christie has the "magic feet" Odd incident. 2 balls appeared when Cyprus had a corner. One of their players had one ball ready at the corner flag, the other ball was trundling around the 6-yard area and McGregor decided to get rid of it. He kicked it towards the sideline and on its way it hit the the other ball which was stationary at the corner flag. For that, he got...booked! FFS!!

Careful now!
Scotchland will be thinking they can take on the Faroe Islands if they win this.

Pharaoh Islands here we come!!
Well deserved win, in spite of the fact that, as attackers, we have Naismith, McBurnie, and Burke. Please Lord, give us a striker and we'll beat the world. The team was well organised and defensively, they looked more confident second-half. The Cypriots were not shy about throwing themselves to the ground in pursuit of free kicks, in and just outside the penalty area but the eccentric referee seemed to enjoy quoting General De Gaulle, "Non" he said frequently. A striker, a striker, anybody's kingdom for a striker!!
