Scotland team to play Switzerland: Striker switch, faith with re-energised star and defender poser

We take a look at how Pocognoli may line up for Hampden bow

Scotland are back in action on Tuesday night when they take on Switzerland in the Nations League.

It will be first home match for head coach Sebastien Pocognoli, whose tenure kicked off with a goalless draw away to Slovenia on Saturday.

The 39-year-old said: “It will be a special moment, the first time at home. I’ve really been looking forward to that moment since I’ve been appointed as a new gaffer.

“I think the fans will be a reflection of what we will be on the pitch. If we are brave, if we are trying, if we face the risk, if we face the opponent, I think the supporters will adapt to this and they will be behind us.

“The first reaction after the game in Slovenia was that reaction because we turned the game (around) and we faced the opponent.

“I hope we can do it with a different level of opponent but I think we had a good test in Slovenia. It’s never easy to go there.

“Sometimes you have a very good opponent and you just have to be smarter in your approach. But the idea will be always be, and certainly at home, to try to take control of the game as much as possible.”
