For Sebastien Pocognoli, Friday against North Macedonia is a third opportunity to replace the Hampden Bore with something akin to a Hampden Roar.

Two home games so far under the new head coach and two defeats; five goals conceded, one scored.

The loss to a superior Switzerland was written off because of an early red card for Jack Hendry. The loss to Slovenia had no such mitigation.
