Scotland 1-0 Serbia: Analysis

Job done. Every job done.

Play-offs secured, undefeated campaign and promotion to League A confirmed.

Not without another challenge at Firhill with Serbia, as expected, getting up into Scotland’s face but as the players and staff have said post-match, it’s the sort of attitude they’ll come against later in the year.

Martinez Losa’s side had to dig deep and defend more than they have done in the four games against Slovakia and Israel respectively, and did so fairly soundly.

There was the odd scary moment, but given the time of season for the bulk of these players, a little slowness can be expected.

There was no such trait in the celebrations after the final whistle, though, which shows how morale-boosting this unbeaten campaign has been.

This squad are in a far better place than they were at the beginning of the year, on and off the pitch.

The mood is different, the togetherness is even more evident and the confidence is brimming.

Six games, five wins, one goal conceded. Bring on the play-offs.
