Scotland signed off this four-match Nations League window with a damaging 2-1 defeat by Slovenia at Hampden.
Despite leading at the interval, Scotland let the lead slip against the Slovenians, who were deserved victors in Glasgow. The result leaves Sebastien Pocognoli's side third in League B1, three points off the Slovenians in second place.
The Scots now face an uphill task if they are to finish second in the standings and secure a second-seed berth in December's Euro 2028 draw. Hopes of finishing top of the group have already been extinguished after leaders Switzerland comfortably defeated North Macedonia 3-0 at home.
Scotland are still searching for their first home win under Pocognoli as his team looked open and fatigued as Slovenia seized upon them.
Ryan Christie showed intelligence to put Scotland ahead on 32 minutes with the hosts' first shot on target, but Pocognoli's men were unable to build on that lead.
Slovenia rallied after the break and levelled on 56 minutes when Aljosa Matko slotted home and then the visitors found a winner on 72 minutes when Danijel Sturm prodded home after a cutback.
We give each Scotland player a mark out of ten for their performance at Hampden.
13. Kieron Bowie
The hero of North Macedonia was a little surprisingly omitted from the starting XI but came on for McBurnie in search of a goal. Prodded a close-range effort straight at Oblak and won a promising free-kick towards the end. 2
14. Josh McPake
The Hearts winger was given his Scotland debut in the final quarter of the game and saw plenty of the ball. Wasn't scared to run at the Slovenian defence and had a penalty claim waved away when pulled back right on the edge of the box. Had it been inside, VAR may have got involved. 3 | SNS Group
15. Findlay Curtis
Promoted from the under-21 set-up, Curtis was asked to drive down the right-hand side. Tried to win a penalty on 77 minutes but the referee correctly waved it away; there was minimal contact. 2 | SNS Group
16. Robbie Ure
Introduced in the closing stages but never got a sniff in a vain chase for a winner. n/a | SNS Group
