No Scotland No Party Podcast

Sébastien Pocognoli has named his Scotland squad for the final Nations League double-header of 2026 against North Macedonia and Switzerland.

Scott McTominay returns after his heart procedure, with Che Adams and Kieran Tierney also back in the fold. Rangers’ James Penrice earns his first senior call-up after a strong run of form, while a number of players from the previous squad miss out.

We break down the full 26-man group, the key inclusions and exclusions, what it tells us about Pocognoli’s thinking, and what Scotland need from the two games to keep their Nations League hopes alive.

Another disappointing night at Hampden as Scotland suffer a 2-1 defeat to Slovenia, making it three home defeats in our last four games.

Pocognoli is still waiting for his first home win as Scotland boss, and once again we're left asking some serious questions.

Has the formation let us down again? Why aren't Scotland getting the best out of the players available? Where has the Hampden roar gone?

The atmosphere felt flat, the fans were subdued, and Scotland never seemed to generate the energy we've become accustomed to seeing at Hampden.

The team are back to dissect the defeat, the tactics, the formation, the performance and what needs to change before it's too late.

A brutal night for Scotland and the Tartan Army.

We're back to break down the match, look at what went wrong, discuss the big talking points and ask the question on everyone's lips…

Where do we go from here?

If you've watched the game, we'd love to hear what you thought.

Sébastien Pocognoli’s first game in charge ends goalless in Ljubljana. A shaky first half, a much better second, and still no goal.

We go through the result, the performance and the tactics. Why the new 3-4-1-2 looked lost early on, what changed at half-time, and how Scotland pinned Slovenia back after the break. Ure hits the post, McBurnie misses a one-on-one, Bowie fluffs a big chance, and Jan Oblak keeps them out.

Was it a good start with no win, or another night of chances going begging? Honest Tartan Army take before Switzerland at Hampden. No Scotland No Party!

Slovenia v Scotland is up first in the Nations League, and it’s Pocognoli’s first game in the dugout.

No Scotland, No Party.

In this episode of the No Scotland No Party Podcast, we take a closer look at the appointment of Sébastien Pocognoli as Scotland manager.

Who is Pocognoli? What is his football philosophy? How has his career shaped the way he wants his teams to play? And, most importantly, what could a Pocognoli Scotland team actually look like?

We discuss his coaching background, his tactical approach, the style of football Scotland fans can expect, and whether Pocognoli is the right man to take Scotland into the next chapter.

In this emotional and honest episode of No Scotland No Party, we react to Steve Clarke’s resignation following Scotland’s disappointing group stage exit at the 2026 World Cup.

We look back at his full tenure: the highs of qualifying for three major tournaments, the heartbreaking moments, and the big debates around his tactics and selections. Was he the best Scotland manager in a generation, or did he take us as far as he could?

We also discuss who the next manager should be and what direction Scottish football needs to go now.
