Figure caption: Scotland were 'outfought' by Slovenia - Robertson

By George O'Neill BBC Sport Scotland

Scotland were "outfought" and simply "not good enough" in their 2-1 Nations League defeat by Slovenia, says captain Andy Robertson.

Having won in North Macedonia on Saturday, Sebastien Pocognoli's side were favourites to back that up with another victory at Hampden Park. The Scots led at half-time through Ryan Christie's close-range backheel, but were alarmingly open defensively and second-half goals from Danijel Sturm and Aljosa Matko turned the game on its head.

"Not good enough," Robertson told BBC Sport Scotland. "The whole team. We didn't do the good things we did on Saturday, I don't know what that's down to. They caused us a lot of problems and we have to find the reasons why."

Pocognoli echoes Robertson

Pocognoli agreed with his captain's assessment that Scotland were well below par.

"We didn't deserve to get the win, that's the reality," he said. "On the ball we were not clever enough. We were far from strong enough in the duels. The reality is each game teaches us some information. We will try to go through the process we want and learn from this one and do better in the next one."
