Lost 3-1 to Spain in the end, held them at 0-0 for an hour then the extra talent and class they possess shone though.

Meanwhile:

After 12 games Scotland have progressed to third place in the WSD, but are under constant pressure from Greece in fourth place. They are six points off top spot held by Cameroon, who are four points clear of the nearest team Eire.

Since tasting victory against Brazil, Scotland have won thre games of six, drawing two, and losing one.

Ian Murray inspired Scotland to a 1-0 victory over Denmark. Shaun Maloney scored the only goal on 55 minutes. Manager Richard Tait was said to be "concerned with the amount of wasted oppurtunities, yet pleased nonetheless"

Craig Gordon kept Scotland in this game, with a number of dramatic saves during the 0-0 draw. When warned about his perfomances by his manager, midfielder Darren Flatcher spoke of his disappointment of his own performance and vowed to improve his performance in the next game.

Fletcher stuck to his promise, and came good with a terrific performace, that was bettered only by Craig Gordon in the Scotland goal, during their 1-0 away win versus Colombia . Fletcher scored after 13 minutes to open the scoring, and scored again but it was disallowed for offside. Richard Tait said it was is side's defending that won them the match.

Samuel Eto'o scored a fabulous hattrick to sink Scotland at Hampden. Scotland were subject to a marvellous combeck which seen Cameroon come from 2-0 down to eventually win 4-2. However, Scotland had scored another goal when the scoreline was still 2-1 to them, but it was ruled offside. Replays showed the descision was incorrect. Scotland Manager Richard Tait was said to be furious with the decision, but pleased by the Scotland effort. Kenny Miller and John Kennedy were on target for Scotland.

Scotland responded to South Korea manager Km Hak-Bum by thumping the Koreans 3-0. Shaun Maloney scored a brace, and Miller also netted to secure victory. Maloney won man of the match for his effort. Richard Tait said afterwards that Kim Hak-Bum would do well to not taunt until after that match was finished.

Scotland's Greek counterparts will feel aggrieved following their 1-1 draw at Hampden. Greece played well before taking the lead on 54 minutes. Scotland were slow to react, and it took a magical free-kick from captain Barry Ferguson for Scotland to gain something. Greek captain Efstathios Tavlaridis won the man of the match.

Alan Gow scored a brace, and Maloney scored his tenth of the season as Scotland overcame a plucky Switzerland at St. Jakobspark. Kevn McCann impressed on his first full debut.

Ivory Coast away next for Scotland in the International Shield Quarter Final, a match they will hope to surprise the Africans.

29 games played in the league, 13 points clear of Belgium in 2nd and guaranteed a playoff place.

Out of the 3 cups though, lost to Spain in Round 2 of International Shield, Turkey in the International Plate Semi Final and Holland in the FIFA Nations Cup 4th round.

Decent performances in each of the cups, and I felt we could've gone further had we not faced Premier and 1st Division opponents so early.

Trying to bring Kuzsczak back as I only have an aging Dudek and an inexperienced Fabianski. If I can't get him (likely I think) I might have to make do with Dudek and Fabianski as there don't seem to be too many talented Polish keepers.

Congrats on promotion Sean.

Scotland had a difficult task of taking down Ivory Coast, who are bottom of the Gold League. Fans worldwide were shocked when Shaun Maloney scored with just 12 minutes on the clock. Arouna Kone pegged Scotland back immediately on 15 minutes. It was not until the second half that Ivory Coast started to play. Scotland's will to stay on was crumbled in the short space of 20 minutes. Bonaventure Kalou scored twice, and Romaric also scored to give a scoreline which truly flattered the hosts. Didier Drogba was Man of the match with 3 assists.

Scotland were hoping to bounce straight back following their exit at the hands of Ivory Coast, but Carlos Grosmuller scored with 11 minutes remaining, canceling out Lee McCulloch's opener. In an uneventful match, Craig Gordon continued his stellar form, to win the Man of the match.

Scotland's form against Ireland this year has been fantastic. They have scored 9 and let in just one. Kevin Doyle gave Ireland an undeserved lead on 21 minutes, before Scotland responded with Shaun Maloney getting a brace before the break. Scotland fans were pleased at the return of striker Kris Boyd, who marked his return with a goal, after coming on for Beattie. Shaun Maloney was Man of The Match and Darren Fletcher was ruled out for two weeks.

It was a terrible day at the office for Scotland as they were mauled three-nil by a rampant Russia. Russia scored two goals early on, before adding a thrid after half time. Kirk Broadfoot, and Mark Wilson enjoyed good debuts, but it was the Russian captain Mike Zonneveld who won the MotM award, after scoring a goal and also setting up another.

Kirk Broadfoot's morale was wrecked, as Charlie Adam showed the world what he's capable of. Barry Ferguson opened the scoring against Denmark, but before that Maloney fell under a hard tackle and was ruled out for a week. Jon Dahl Tommasson netted twice in three minutes to give Denmark a deserved half time lead. Charlie Adam scored straight after the break to level the score, before Daniel Agger was sent off for a malicious challenge on Boyd. Luckily Boyd was unharmed. Hartley made way for Fletcher, who recieved a round of applause for the fans. Adam then scored his second of the match with a diving header. All seemed right for Scotland, before a wayward Perez cross hit Broadfoot's outstreched leg, putting it past a helpless Craig Gordon.

Staff News: Scotland have struck a deal to bring French goalkeeping coaches Joel Bats and Dominique Dropsy to the club. Scotland also secured the signitures of Goalkeeping coach Alan Main, and Man U's ex-fitness coach Valter Di Salvo. Also three under 19's also secured new deals at the club, following their U19 cup run. Scotland also secured Grant Brebner, as cover, as well as young players Peter McCormick and Peter Dempsie.
