Former Celtic boss, Neil Lennon, believes there’s been an over reaction to Scotland’s defeat on Monday against the Czech Republic.
Speaking to the BBC, the Irishman thinks Scotland were unlucky and they’ve been undone by two bits of quality, the second goal from Schick already considered as goal of the tournament.
Neil believes hindsight is a great thing but there was a lot to digest and Scotland can count themselves unlucky on the day.

Ryan Christie started the game but was hooked at half time by Clarke to bring on two strikers.
Many Scotland fans thought Clarke went too negative at Hampden and didn’t let Scotland play to their full potential.
The second goal put the game beyond doubt – decision making poor by both Hendry and Marshall who had their part to play in the goal.
Scotland are up against England next so it doesn’t get any easier for the Clarke and his men.
I thought the Czech Republic were a poor side and will be cannon fodder for many other teams. Scotland should’ve been winning that game. The first goal should’ve been defended better and the second should never have been because the keeper was yards further out than he ought to have been. In Lyndon Dykes we have a striker not good enough at this level and an unprofessional Griffiths who was sitting in the stand when he should’ve been on the pitch and scoring with the opportunities made in the game. Furthermore, Jamesie Forrest and Calmac ought to have started since they are Scotland’s best players and Tierney was badly missed. As long as the Celtic players return fit and healthy to reclaim our title i’l be just fine and dandy. 52/ 1 – Incoming.
