'Outfought' and 'not good enough' - Robertson on Scotland defeat

Scotland were outclassed and simply not up to the job in their 2-1 Nations League defeat to Slovenia, according to captain Andy Robertson. Having triumphed against North Macedonia earlier in the week, Slovenia were the favorites to capitalize on that success with another victory at Hampden Park. The Scots took the lead at halftime through Ryan Christie's close-range backheel, but found themselves alarmingly exposed defensively in the second half.

Goals from Danijel Sturm and Aljosa Matko secured a comfortable win for Slovenia. Robertson lamented the lack of quality and defensive solidity, stating that Scotland lacked the ability to compete with Slovenia. Slovenia's manager Sebastien Pocognoli echoed Robertson's assessment, acknowledging that Scotland were well below par.
