As expected, Scotland dominating this match for long periods and Che Adams scoring a decent goal in the 1st half to give us a deserved lead. Then an added bonus on 34 mins - Siminovic sent off and Luxembourg down to ten players for the rest of the game. The "floodgates" should've opened up with lotsa goals for Scotland had Che Adams and Dykes decided to "follow the scoring script". They didn't!! Adams should've bagged a "hat trick" on the hour mark and Dykes should've scored with two easy headers. Also McTominay just cannae score for Scotland - another "peach of a cross ball" to his napper and couldn't score from about 6 yards!!
I hope this kinda poor scoring prowess doesn't continue into the matches that matter v Czechoslovakia, England and Croatia. Chelsea's Billy Gilmour on for the second half and didn't disappoint with a splendid display of midfield skill until a Luxembourg player came off the subs' bench and absolutely "nailed him" in a disgraceful challenge for all to see - a red card, indeed a double red card to easily mete out by the match referee but amazingly he didn't do his job of protecting players from this type of footie thuggery. Gilmour immediately replaced but thankfully more of a precaution from the team doctor. But a lucky laddie not to be badly injured. That's two Scotland matches where the assigned match refs have been rank rotten with their decision-making - a mystifying free kick to The Netherlands, in the previous friendly international match, thereby giving the Dutch side a chance to equalise in the dying mins and duly taken by Depay. I hope this isn't a "flavour of things to come" in the important upcoming Euro matches.
