'More late Scotland anguish as Clarke fights cynicism & scepticism'
Briefly

"From Poland sickening Scotland late in the day at Hampden, to Cristiano Ronaldo doing the same in Lisbon, it was VAR's turn on Saturday night in Zagreb to bring the haunted look back to the faces of Steve Clarke's team. A point at the end? Glory be! But, no. Life is not like that for this Scotland right now. Offside. Goal ruled out. Defeat, again."
"One win in 15 and yet more agony prior to Portugal's visit to Hampden on Tuesday night. Stand by for something wild. Scotland winning 20 when the floodlights fail or the heavens open or a plague of angry birds descend forcing the players to flee. It's just where they are right now."
"This was a more than admirable performance, but another one that left Clarke trying to pick his players up from the floor. Another narrow defeat that had encouraging things in it, but one that extends the worst run of competitive results in Scotland's history."
