'Nowhere near good enough'
Scotland captain Andy Robertson tells BBC Scotland: "I think we all know that's nowhere near good enough."I don't want to say too much, we need to digest this and speak in the changing room before we start doing interviews."I think we were too easily played through, any chance they had they scored. We weren't good enough on the ball, created chances but didn't take them. Nowhere near good enough."Getting beat 3-1 at home by a team that, no disrespect, you should beat but they've been better than us. I imagine they've had more possession, I'd imagine more chances, they've got more goals and that's all that matters."I don't think you can put a finger on one thing but we need to get it right pretty quickly."
