Scotland prepares for Nations League match against Switzerland at Hampden Park
Summary

Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli will manage his first home game against Switzerland on September 29, following a goalless draw with Slovenia in his debut. Pocognoli included eight uncapped players in his squad, with Robbie Ure and Stephen Welsh starting in the previous match. Despite dominating the second half against Slovenia, Scotland could not score, raising questions about team adjustments ahead of the tougher Swiss side. Pocognoli is expected to stick with a defensive setup but may make changes in attack and midfield to address recent concerns.
