:31:02. > :31:07.was here to watch him. How do you feel, first international zart and
:31:07. > :31:12.first goal? Delighted. I won't do much sleeping tonight. But what a
:31:12. > :31:17.feeling to go out there and the kick off and singing the anthem and
:31:17. > :31:23.hearing the fans. So brilliant. A real proud moment for me. Ryan, not
:31:23. > :31:28.a great result for you, but your international debut, how did that
:31:28. > :31:31.feel? I on thinking about that since I was a boy. So it was a
:31:31. > :31:36.proud moment to represent Australia. I remember speaking to you after
:31:36. > :31:41.the first Gyme of last season at Ibrox, where you started at Hearts,
:31:41. > :31:48.you have come a long way and forced your way into the team, won a cup
:31:48. > :31:52.and made your international debut. It has been a whirlwind 12 months.
:31:52. > :31:57.That was one of my first starts last year. If you were to say then
:31:57. > :32:03.in 12 months you would be playing for the Socceroos, I would have
:32:03. > :32:07.laughed at you. It was a will the of hard work and I'm delighted.
:32:07. > :32:14.Iain Black, he dominated the headlines. Is he somebody that will
:32:14. > :32:18.be playing against, who may well come into your minds. It shouldn't
:32:18. > :32:23.have dominated any headlines, the whole thing was none sensical. He
:32:23. > :32:27.was next in the line to be chosen and he got on the park. He would
:32:27. > :32:34.have been with us in America if he had had that injury. It was, the
:32:34. > :32:39.whole thing is, for me, is inconsequential. I don't think
:32:39. > :32:45.people doubts his ability. But the questions were being asked... It
:32:45. > :32:49.has divided the supporters. What's happened. He made an issue out of
:32:49. > :32:52.something that is nothing. Can you ask me some questions about
:32:52. > :33:00.positive things, rather than trying to brick you down. I'm not trying
:33:00. > :33:04.to bring you down A3-1 victory going into a massive thing. Yes, I
:33:04. > :33:09.said I'm pleased with the result and the way we played. But we don't
:33:09. > :33:14.get any points for that tonight. And what is important now is the
:33:14. > :33:18.Serbia match. That is an opportunity for some guys to stake
:33:18. > :33:23.a claim. Some have done that. I hope we don't lose any more players
:33:23. > :33:28.and I will play trie to put out the best team possible for that match.
:33:28. > :33:34.Thank you. I think we are all worried about what happened in
:33:34. > :33:37.America last season. I certainly was. We're feeling happier now
:33:37. > :33:45.about the qualification campaign after what happened tonight. Let's
:33:45. > :33:49.talk to Pat and Steven. Before we go further. Let's nail this Black
:33:49. > :33:53.gate. If Scotland were playing as winning as they did tonight, do we
:33:53. > :33:58.care what league the players come from? Not just because we won
:33:58. > :34:02.tonight. But I said it today, you know, he is a good player. I think
:34:02. > :34:05.his style of play is suited to international football. So if he is
:34:05. > :34:09.playing well and gets his opportunity for Scotland and does
:34:09. > :34:15.play well, I couldn't care less what league he is playing in. Well
:34:15. > :34:22.done to Craig to bat it away. But it shouldn't have been a story. He
:34:22. > :34:30.got booed on tonight. I felt sorry for him. It should be his proudest
:34:30. > :34:35.day and to have this negativity, he was there on merit and was one of
:34:35. > :34:41.best player last season. He is pulling on a Scotland jersey.
:34:41. > :34:47.was just what Scotland wanted, going into three and a half weeks
:34:47. > :34:51.against Serbia. Yes they need toad -- needed to build confidence. It
:34:51. > :34:57.was a good result and some good performances. That will please
:34:57. > :35:02.Craig Levein. Craig Levein probably said, let's set the tone in the
:35:02. > :35:08.first 20 minutes. They certainly first 20 minutes. They certainly
:35:08. > :35:11.did. He probably also said, you ruined my summer! That is the first
:35:11. > :35:16.ball played to Hutton. Look where he is playing, he is right up there.
:35:16. > :35:21.And he doesn't go back. And he wants to get forward. This is, this
:35:21. > :35:26.happened all the way through. Getting to the line and getting
:35:26. > :35:32.csss in. We love to see that. The first 15 minutes were particularly
:35:32. > :35:41.good. It wasen just Hutton. But a lot was down the right hand side.
:35:41. > :35:47.You get the first sight of Rhodes there. He is unluckly it comes off
:35:47. > :35:53.his standing foot. Brilliant movement here. Some strikers just
:35:53. > :35:58.naturally do it, find space. get coached to death on it, but
:35:58. > :36:03.some strikers have just got it. That was a fabulous ball again.
:36:03. > :36:08.a striker, you were droolling at the amount of ammunition there was.
:36:08. > :36:13.There must have been a dozen-plus good crosses. Here is another one.
:36:13. > :36:19.Rhodes was on the end of everything. What I liked, even when the ball
:36:19. > :36:24.doesn't come in, he will go to right place. And if we stop this,
:36:24. > :36:31.the ball come back. If its played in first time, there is Rhodes at
:36:31. > :36:37.the back post. He will get in fronts of his defender. He always
:36:37. > :36:42.seems to nick in front and get a half yard. The defenders don't know
:36:42. > :36:45.where he is. That is the secret. That was an example of the final
:36:45. > :36:51.ball not being the right one and that is great, because there is
:36:51. > :36:57.more to come. Yes, I think in the system that they were playing with
:36:57. > :37:02.Naismith on one side and Snodgrass on the other, allow Hutton and Fox,
:37:02. > :37:07.who are both capable of bomb down the flank and putting in crosses,
:37:07. > :37:11.especially Danny Fox and getting the deliveries in and Naismith,
:37:11. > :37:17.Rhodes and Snodgrass with make it into the box. It is a dangerous way
:37:17. > :37:21.to play. This was the big negative of the night for Scotland A switch
:37:21. > :37:29.off which was matched by a switch off from the officials. You see
:37:29. > :37:35.Hutton is jogging back. Get ahold of the guy. But this a multitude of
:37:35. > :37:42.mistakes. It is a shocker. I heard Billy Dodds say two wrongs don't
:37:42. > :37:48.make a right fplg I think there were three or four. This ball was
:37:48. > :37:52.out of play by a foot easy. Where is the assistant. And where is the
:37:52. > :37:59.goal line technology. That is a hand ball. It should have been a
:37:59. > :38:04.sending off. But it is actually in. What Dodds said, there is a hint of
:38:04. > :38:08.hand ball. I don't think there is anybody in the stadium who didn't
:38:08. > :38:13.realise. It would have been a shame for Scotland to lose a goal.
:38:13. > :38:19.However they do. Sometimes from a Scottish point of view you want to
:38:19. > :38:23.pick holes in a goal against. There wasn't much wrong with that. Berra
:38:23. > :38:30.does everything right. Nobody thinks it is going in there.
:38:30. > :38:36.Including breshian know. It is an outrageous strike. -- Bresciano.
:38:36. > :38:40.There are four players between the keeper and the ball. It is an
:38:40. > :38:46.incredible strike. McGregor's got no chance. I think we can say it
:38:46. > :38:53.was a decent goal. The Rhodes goal was also special. He had been
:38:53. > :38:59.building up to it. This is all movement. Fox is in acres of space.
:39:00. > :39:05.The quality of ball is great great. If you watch lods' movement. He
:39:05. > :39:09.drags the centre half away. He this he is peeling to the back post and
:39:09. > :39:16.it is a wonderful header. He will be a happy young man. Ffrpblgt you
:39:16. > :39:21.put three keepers in, they don't save this. It is not a fluke. The
:39:21. > :39:26.movement is all timed. It is natural and he has been doing it
:39:26. > :39:30.for a couple of years. So that is the guy, it is not as if it is not
:39:30. > :39:33.going to happen. I have every confidence he will have a big
:39:34. > :39:38.career for Scotland for many years. That is just a natural thing. He
:39:38. > :39:44.has woshed on it. He is a hard worker and he has just about
:39:44. > :39:49.everything you want. Rhodes is screaming out for a place in the
:39:49. > :39:54.real stuff, sois Danny Fox. You played with him. I played with
:39:54. > :40:01.Danny at Burnley and he has good quality in his left foot. Even
:40:01. > :40:07.balls into feet for striker, but his delivery from the side is
:40:07. > :40:12.superb. The second goal, comes from Danny's delivery. He has got that
:40:12. > :40:19.quality and he has improssed -- improved defensively. He is ready
:40:19. > :40:23.to be a Scotland left back. I was about Danny Fox and Jordan Rhodes
:40:23. > :40:29.in the build up. Yes. Great willingness to get in there. That
:40:29. > :40:35.is a lovely touch and a brave touch. He knows he will take a hit.
:40:35. > :40:42.Composure from Fox was great. He could have slid in Adam. But you
:40:42. > :40:49.see it now. It is a good ball into an area and a wonderful finish.
:40:49. > :40:54.is only millimetres above Adams' head. Into a good area. But I that,
:40:54. > :40:58.I don't know what he is thinking of. He doesen miss though. Scotland
:40:58. > :41:04.deserved it. You may say it is lucky, but Scotland deserved it.
:41:04. > :41:11.They had a lot of. It is about putting pressure on the opposition.
:41:11. > :41:15.That was a ball that he was uncome formable with. Yes he has panicked.
:41:15. > :41:23.He had Scotland player behind him and in front of him and he doesn't
:41:23. > :41:29.know what to do. Not much went wrong for manager. He brought on
:41:29. > :41:38.Ross MacCormack and he scored. Another former team mate of mine.
:41:38. > :41:42.He links up well. He comes across and gives the keeper the eyes. The
:41:42. > :41:47.keeper thinks he is going to the bottom left and me whips it the
:41:47. > :41:53.other way. He shapes his foot around this ball. We see at first,
:41:53. > :41:58.maybe he mishit it. Absolutely not. He has pull it back and the keeper
:41:58. > :42:03.can do nothing. There was a great willingness about him. He has a lot
:42:03. > :42:08.of energy. We often say about Scotland players are we going to
:42:08. > :42:13.upset if we don't pick them. You know? The attitude is you're not
:42:13. > :42:17.picked, the next time you are picked you show the manager. He
:42:17. > :42:23.came on and showed a fantastic attitude and got the goal and gave
:42:23. > :42:27.the manager the best lake in the worlds. He has another couple of
:42:27. > :42:32.forwards to look at. That is a problem for Craig Levein not just
:42:32. > :42:37.in picking the team, but in picking the squad. Yes, I think in every
:42:37. > :42:40.position he is covered now. There is a couple of players in every
:42:40. > :42:47.position now. And it is a great problem to have. Maybe the only
:42:47. > :42:50.position you are conserd about now if you look at the injury to
:42:50. > :42:55.McGregor. There afs great moment where I thought, we have had two
:42:55. > :43:00.players taken off, we were one goal down and we have come back and won
:43:00. > :43:06.the game with ease. So so many positives to take out of the game
:43:06. > :43:16.for the manager. But I think he will think, oh daerbgs keeper, we
:43:16. > :43:19.
:43:19. > :43:25.smai -- dear, we may have a problem. You imagine Gilks will come in. The
:43:25. > :43:29.word on McGregor is is a groin injury and a serious injury.
:43:29. > :43:33.have David Marshall in Cardiff. not pushing a St Mirren player.
:43:33. > :43:39.Well he was in the squad for Cyprus game and there is cover there. But
:43:39. > :43:44.maybe not somebody with a lot of experience and a lot of caps.
:43:44. > :43:50.shouldn't be too negative. We have got cover for most places on the
:43:50. > :43:53.pitch. At one time we were wondering who we will play at full
:43:53. > :43:57.back. But we have so many choices. It is good that we have got that.
:43:57. > :44:02.It is just about all over the pitch. In we have got everyone fit it is a
:44:02. > :44:09.tough one to decide to go, which ones to go with. I hope McGregor or
:44:09. > :44:16.Gordon come back soon. Scotland won by a distance. Against a team
:44:16. > :44:24.ranked 4th in the world. -- 24th in the world. You take the rankings
:44:24. > :44:30.with a buck tet of -- buck ket of salt. Lack at the first two games
:44:30. > :44:35.that we have got, the Serbia Macedonia game is at home. They are
:44:35. > :44:45.must win games. Then you're away to Wales and Belgium and you talked
:44:45. > :44:49.
:44:49. > :44:54.about Belgium. You fancy them. I do not think anyone will run away
:44:55. > :45:00.with this group but I do not think you can lose your home games. A
:45:00. > :45:09.good sign going into these games is the weather. You mentioned Belgium.
:45:09. > :45:16.Let's look at tonight's's friendly matches involving our group rivals.
:45:16. > :45:26.Holland were beaten 4-2 by a Belgian. Croatia beaten by the St
:45:26. > :45:32.
:45:32. > :45:38.score line by it Switzerland. Wales lost at home to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
:45:38. > :45:41.England beat Italy 2-1 in Switzerland. Let's have a look at
:45:41. > :45:50.what lies ahead for Scotland in terms of qualification and
:45:50. > :45:53.campaigns. The two home games to come. The first one is in three-
:45:53. > :46:03.and-a-half weeks, Serbia, followed quickly by the game against
:46:03. > :46:13.Macedonia. Those are the 2012 matches and after the turn of the
:46:13. > :46:28.
:46:28. > :46:35.better about those games on the Yes, it was a big worry, what
:46:35. > :46:41.happened in the USA. But we were talking about it before, it was
:46:41. > :46:48.ended season, the guys were gone completely. Craig Levein said today,
:46:48. > :46:52.I thought about it and watched the game. Let's make you Scotland
:46:52. > :47:02.manager. What is your team for the Serbia again? This is tough. Maybe
:47:02. > :47:10.a couple of surprises. Because they are home games coming up... I would
:47:10. > :47:16.not get rid of Kevin Miller. A little bit in, allowing her agent
:47:16. > :47:22.to come up on the outside today. They the only thing I would change
:47:22. > :47:31.his... I liked Caldwell to lights in the back four Because it gives
:47:31. > :47:36.them security. With Hutton and Fox bombing forward. I thought Gary
:47:36. > :47:44.Caldwell did very well tonight in that decision. A tough one. Fox
:47:44. > :47:52.Mulgrew. He has come armed and played very well tonight. -- he has
:47:52. > :47:59.come on. Suddenly, we can be excited. Not too carried away. It
:47:59. > :48:09.is a friendly but I tell you what, I am really looking forward to this.
:48:09. > :48:13.
:48:13. > :48:20.That is it. Here is what we have Our new home for the highlights
