SCOTLAND’S Euro 2020 qualifying campaign got off to the worst possible start as they lost 3-0 in Kazakhstan yesterday.

Within the opening 10 minutes, the hosts were two goals up and Scotland were left stunned and startled.

The Scottish defence on both occasions were undone by one defence-splitting pass. First Yuriy Pertsukh struck a left-footed half-volley past Scott Bain after being played through by a simple ball from just inside Kazakhstan’s half.
