League A? OK Doak

11/19/24 • 35 min

More late drama in League A as Scotland rescue their place in the top division, for the time being, thanks to Andy Robertson’s last minute winner against Poland.
Finishing third means we miss out on Pot 1 for the World Cup qualifiers but there’s a small chance we can still make it into Pot 2. And we now face a play off to stay in the top flight, thanks to John McGinn and captain Robbo, rather than automatic relegation which seemed inevitable earlier in the tournament.
Andrew Slaven is joined by TNT Sports’ Laura Brannan and Melbourne City’s Findlay Marks as they break down why this is a big result for future qualifications.
Meanwhile, elsewhere Dumbarton are going into administration, Rangers boss Philippe Clement is being linked with the Belgium job and Timmy Mallett is a Stranraer fan?!
