Ally McCoist in surprise Scotland penalty verdict as he rues a 'total disaster'

Gutted Ally McCoist has admitted he didn't think Scotland should have been awarded a penalty on first viewing but was left convinced Stuart Armstrong was decked after seeing the replay.

"It's funny because the first person I met when doing a post-mortem after the game was Pat Nevin. I was talking away to Pat and he still didn't think it was a penalty. We have all got different opinions. I don't think there is any doubt, when I look at it, why VAR has not had a look at it is baffling.

He added: "I was disappointed at the end of the game last night, I knew we had to go and win it. Not scoring a goal last night was not good but it was not a total disaster. Losing a goal last night was a total disaster. Losing a goal puts you out of the tournament, not scoring a goal doesn't necessarily put you out of the tournament. People say you need to go and win the game, I do understand that, but, come on guys, you cannot leave yourself one vs one at the back.
