  "summary": "Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli is feeling a positive nervousness ahead of his first game in charge against Slovenia in Ljubljana on Saturday. He was appointed in August, replacing Steve Clarke.\n\nPocognoli has a busy start to his tenure with four Nations League matches across 11 days. After facing Slovenia, his team will play Switzerland at Hampden, then a fixture in North Macedonia, and a return meeting with Slovenia in Glasgow.\n\nThe Scotland squad has many new faces, with eight uncapped players, including 19-year-old James Wilson and several players in their early twenties. Pocognoli said it's a challenge to find the right balance and cohesion in the team.",
