Scotland were put through their paces this morning at Barclays Hampden as new National Team Head Coach Sébastien Pocognoli prepares for his first match at the National Stadium.

Pocognoli addressed the media following the open training session and he spoke of his excitement at leading a team in front of the home supporters in Glasgow. Fans who have not yet purchased can still do so here.

He said: "I think we had a good test in Slovenia, it's never easy to go there. I think Switzerland faced them also and it was also not an easy game.

"After the game, we were disappointed we didn't score but I don't think it's any concern from my side to score goals because we have good strikers.

"We created chances and there are also many ways to score. We can score on set pieces, full-backs can get in the box.

"We can also score like this so it's not only the strikers, but we are creating chances from many positions.

"Switzerland is a very good country, a very good team. So it will be a tough opposition. It's also fantastic to be at home against this opponent and we respect them, but from the approach to the game, we want to show that we are at home.

Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson also addressed the media and he spoke about his midfield partnership with Billy Gilmour, with the pair combining well in Ljubljana: "We obviously missed Billy (Gilmour) over the summer. He's a good friend of mine. We're really close, and we've got a good relationship on and off the pitch.

"We work well with each other. So it was great to be back alongside him. We've played loads of times together, whether that was in the Under-21s or the youth teams.

"It was great having him back. I'm so happy to see him back this season and playing footballl, which was so important for him.

"He had a difficult summer so it's great we're back playing beside each other.

"We've both had those setbacks and similar experiences. I've known Billy since he was 9 or 10 years old.

"I think we work well with each other in terms of both bringing different things to the pitch in the middle."

The 27-year-old also spoke of his role evolving in the squad, as he finds himself among the more experienced members of the squad, following the introduction of so many new faces in this camp.

He added: "My role's changed a lot, obviously. The manager spoke to me about that when I had a chat with him about being a little more experienced now within the squad and starting to become a leader within the group because it's changed so much since the first camp when I came.

"I know how it feels to be one of the young ones coming in. I know what challenges that could bring. I'm there for them if there's anything they need help with."

Tickets for Tuesday's match, and the home game next Tuesday against Slovenia, can be purchased here, right up until kick off.
