While he hopes Scotland won’t be as poor against Albania on Saturday night as they were in Israel, he knows we are still searching for consistency under a new manager.

“You would hope [they wouldn’t be as poor again],” said Weir. “But they don’t go out to play poorly. They don’t go out to lose. It is just circumstance.

“That is the frustrations of being a coach. You are sending out pretty much the same team again after a good performance and you would expect the same result. But it doesn’t always work out that way.

“There are so many intangibles that affect it. Sometimes you have to give the opposing team and manager credit for understanding your weaknesses and exploiting them.

“So it is not unthinkable that we don’t reach the semifinals [of the Nations League]. We are still top of the group, so we are still in a good position. But we have Israel at home and Albania away so it is up to us, up to the performances on the pitch.

“It is no coincidence we are in among Albania and Israel because we have not qualified for a tournament for 20 years, where do we expect to be?

“This Nations League gives you an opportunity to progress, so it is a fair benchmark of where we are.
