Rory Loy is "intrigued" to see if Sebastien Pocognoli will change his style after a poor start as Scotland manager.

Scotland only won one of their opening four games in the Nations League, with home defeats against Switzerland and Slovenia.

Pocognoli's preference of a back-three formation has been questioned, so will the Belgian alter his approach for the visit of North Macedonia on Friday?

"I think there's pressure on him to change his shape, to change his system and to try and get wingers in the team as opposed to wing-backs," former Premiership striker Loy told the BBC's Scottish football podcast.

"I think it's been very, very underwhelming to start with given what we've watched from Pocognoli's team in terms of the shape, the fact that a lot of the young players who are coming through and are performing well are wide players.

"We've been crying out for pace, we've been crying out for wide players for a long time and then all of a sudden he plays with effectively wing-backs. So, I'm intrigued to see whether he changes the shape.

"I don't see this shape working because not only are you playing Ben Gannon-Doak at right wing-back, you're also taking one of your best players out of the team in Aaron Hickey. It doesn't make sense to me the shape that he's played in the last few games.

"If we lose at home to North Macedonia, there's going to be major consequences in terms of fans being unhappy, in terms of pressure mounting slowly but surely."
