9 Oct
Summary
- Young wingers Josh McPake and Findlay Curtis made a positive impact against Slovenia.
- Lewis Ferguson praised the energy and attacking intent of the debutants.
- Andy Robertson is set to become Scotland's most capped player soon.
Scotland suffered a costly 2-1 loss in a Group B1 match in Mount Florida, potentially impacting their Euro 2028 qualification hopes. However, midfielder Lewis Ferguson remained optimistic, impressed by the contributions of younger teammates Josh McPake and Findlay Curtis when they entered the game against Slovenia.
Ferguson, who has played alongside Curtis previously, was particularly heartened by the confident debut of winger Josh McPake. McPake's energetic performance in the second half has led many fans to call for him to start in upcoming matches.
The match also saw Andy Robertson earn his 101st cap. Robertson is set to surpass Sir Kenny Dalglish as Scotland's most capped player if he features in the next two Nations League fixtures, a milestone Ferguson believes will serve as added motivation for the team.
