Tartan Army face daunting task after Poland defeat
Scotland face another tough test in their Nations League campaign on Sunday.
The Tartan Army were beaten in agonising fashion by Poland on Thursday night, conceding a late penalty at Hampden Park after fighting back from two goals down.
It was a desperately disappointing note on which to start the international break, which gets no easier with a trip to Portugal.
