It may have started brightly and ended on somewhat of a sour note, but the facts stand for themselves: two goals, one from Kirk Broadfoot, the other from James McFadden where enough to give George Burley his first win in charge of the national side as the three puts Scotland's challenge for World Cup 2010 firmly back on track. Captain Stephen McManus was sent off just before the final whistle for a deliberate handball, setting up an exciting and frantic final 20 minutes. The team managed to hang on to their slender lead and now find themselves equal on points with Macedonia and Holland, who played last night in Skopje - the Macedonians lost 1-2. We next face Norway at Hampden on the 11th October.
As we're still stuck in Singapore we didn't see the game but looking at the line-up, Burley went for a 4-5-1 or maybe even 4-3-3: can someone confirm?
