"Roxburgh felt it was a freakish night and scoreline in the old Estadio da Luz. Given the current form of the current side, it may have to be a freakish night for Scotland to be able to produce what would have to go down as one of their greatest ever victories should they be able to turn things around at this particular juncture and in the stadium that replaced the one in which the 1993 team were humbled."
"Roxburgh's tactics and team selection were criticised in the wake of the match. Brian McClair had been in outstanding form for Manchester Utd at the time but was an unused substitute. Jim McInally and Stuart McCall got in each other's way at the heart of midfield...There was also the fall-out with Richard Gough, whose international career ended that evening."
