Clockwatch: A busy evening in the Nations League ends in defeat for Wales and the Republic of Ireland, but cathartic victory for Scotland.
Up at Hampden, Andy Robertson should really release Ryan Christie into the box with a pass down the left channel, but he overcooks the pass and the ball sails out for a goal kick. Christie smiles widely nevertheless. Scotland are enjoying themselves tonight. Lovely to see after the misery of last week.Hearts in mouths in Cardiff, as Wout Weghorst dinks a cute pass down the inside-left channel to release Cody Gakpo into the box.
That’s better, but it’s a low bar.Ireland have been properly rattled by that nonsensical opener. Artem Dovbyk is allowed to dribble down the middle, all the way to the edge of the box, and should test Kelleher in the Irish goal. But he hesitates and his shot is eventually blocked.The substitute Viktor Tsygankov takes a free kick out on the right touchline. He swings it into the Irish box. The ball bounces all the way through the area and into the top left! A complete fiasco in the Irish defence.
