Sebastien Pocognoli secured his first Scotland win as captain, leading the team to a 2-0 victory over North Macedonia. Andy Robertson became just the second player to reach 100 caps for his country. Scotland dominated despite a second red card in a week, with Kieron Bowie scoring his first international goal. The win ended a goalless streak exceeding 420 minutes for the national side.
Scotland captain Andy Robertson missed two early chances before Kieron Bowie netted the opener from outside the box. Jack Hendry's early sending off against Switzerland set a precedent, but Scotland maintained composure. A penalty was awarded after Bojan Miovski handled on the line, and Robertson converted from the spot to double the lead. The Aston Villa skipper celebrated his 100th cap with a goal, his 22nd for his country.
Despite late dismissals for Scott Mc Kenna and Jack Hendry, Scotland held on for the win. The result moves them into the final Nations League match against Slovenia at Hampden Park. Kieron Bowie's performance marked a breakthrough moment in an otherwise challenging international break for the team.
