Sébastien Pocognoli finds himself under mounting pressure after just four matches in charge of Scotland, following a comprehensive defeat to Slovenia at Hampden Park. The manner of the loss carries greater weight than the result itself, as Slovenia dominated the fragile hosts, leaving Pocognoli facing the prospect of a third-place finish in a relatively weak Nations League group.
