Gemmill frustrated

Scotland head coach Scot Gemmill was left frustrated after failing to reach the interval level in Perth.

He said: “I didn’t think there was a lot in the game. Ukraine were a really high level, good team.

“You have to ignore the last goal because we were pushing to get the equaliser.

“I’d rather we lost 2-0 throwing everything to get the equaliser than lose 1-0 thinking we hadn’t pushed harder.

“The first goal was the one. It was just about the players having that consciousness and experience about them to know it’s half-time and we’d done great to contain Ukraine.

He said: “It’s a tight group and it’s in the balance. There are a lot of really good games to come in 2018.”
