    Thanks for your company. It wasn't as bad a game as some made out, but the worrying thing for Scotland ahead of the game in Dublin is that they made a poor team look okay.

    Join us next week to find out if Gordon Strachan's side can up their game against the Republic of Ireland.

    Steven Naismith conducted that interview with a couple of nasty cuts on his chest following that clash with the Qatar goalkeeper. However, the striker says he will be fine to face the Republic of Ireland.

    "It probably was a penalty. We didn't get it, but overall it wasn't the greatest result but one we needed after having a wee break.

    "The boys who had a break got a good bit of game time and we can focus on next week's game and stands us in good stead.

    "We are on the up and there's competition for places."

    "It was another good performance by the lads.

    "From start to finish, we worked hard and did what the gaffer asked of us.

    "Everybody says it should be 4-0 or 5-0, but it is never as easy as that.

    "It has been good results so far and we need to keep that going.

    "Ireland's a great team and they made it hard for us at Celtic Park.

    "But we got the win and hopefully we can do that again in Dublin."

    For what it was worth, just a reminder that Matt Ritchie's goal has secured for Scotland the Qatar Airways Cup.

    "I found some of that game almost unwatchable. It was just meandering throughout the second half. Players were going through the motions and it was a very tame affair. Qatar showed some nice touches - more than I expected - but Scotland weren't very good and had to defend smartly. This was more of a commercial exercise than a football event."

    "It hasn't really been a test for Scotland. It is poor quality opposition that haven't shown much going forward. Scotland have had a few chances and should have scored one or two more."

    Johnny Russell isn't heeding Gordon Strachan's advice about not making strong challenges as the striker takes out two Qataris in one foul swoop.

    Qatar have probably been the more dangerous side in the final quarter of the game at Easter Road, but the 14,270 crowd - a bit more than we estimated - are doing their best to inspire the Scots.

    Substitute Johnny Russell is denied by a good, point-blank save from goalkeeper Amine Lecomte Addani after an instinctive flick from the striker.
