What did the pundits say about Scotland’s draw with Switzerland?

Former Scotland winger Pat Nevin

A lot of pride back. After the Germany game a lot of people would’ve watched that, who hadn’t watched Scotland before and thought, they’re out of their league.

I don’t think that’s the case because Scotland have shown time and again that they’re capable of doing better.

I walk away from that game and I’m happy. Minor disappointment that we didn’t get the win but actually did we deserve the win? No, I’m not that biased.

A much better performance, straight from the off, you could see the intent to go and press and try and put Switzerland under as much pressure as they could and crucially we got the first goal and gave ourselves a real belief.

It’s so unlike Scotland to perform the way they did against Germany.

So I think they did pretty well, we are being greedy by saying we would’ve loved to have won the game but the most important part was being in it and still having a chance to qualify and that’s what they’ve given themselves.

Ex-Scotland midfielder Charlie Adam

There were a lot of good moments and a lot of things we need to improve on defensively. I know people make mistakes but small details, if you want to play at the top level of football, you get punished for mistakes and that’s what happened.

Overall from a performance and our reaction was very, very good. It gives us an opportunity on Sunday against a very good Hungarian team. Ranked 26th in the world, they are not to be messed with.

Scotland women’s captain Rachel Corsie

It’s a good place to be, it’s where you want to be.

I think the performance, emotionally and mentally, will count for a lot. We have a real solid group of players, and a structured system.

We’ll give it a real go against Hungary and the fans will get right behind them.
