Scotland will face Slovenia on Saturday in Sebastien Pocognoli’s first match as head coach, with the make-up and readiness of his squad under focus ahead of the fixture.
The game will provide Pocognoli with his first test in charge of the national side. Attention is centred on how Scotland’s players are shaping up as they prepare to begin a new period under their head coach.
The available details do not identify individual selections or set out any changes to the squad. The central issue remains whether the group is ready for the meeting with Slovenia and how Pocognoli will approach his opening match in the role.
Scotland’s debut under Pocognoli is scheduled for Saturday, when the squad’s preparation and selection will become clearer through the team’s first competitive examination under his leadership.
