Pocognoli on Bates, North Macedonia & Hampden wish

Sebastien Pocognoli has been speaking to the media at Hampden before Scotland's last home Nations League game against North Macedonia on Friday.

Here are the key lines:

  • Pocognoli confirmed everyone is available. Ryan Christie carried a knock from the weekend but is now "fully fit".

  • While acknowledging Scotland's dominance in last month's 2-0 win in North Macedonia, Pocognoli expects the visitors to show "more continuity" from their "unlucky" defeat to Switzerland.

  • The head coach wants the "taste" of a first Hampden win as he and his squad look to make the national stadium a "difficult place to come".

  • Defender David Bates - back in a Scotland squad for the first time in seven years - is "not here for nothing" as Pocognoli highlights his "experience".

  • The loss of Luis Binks and Stephen Welsh is "not nice" but allows Pocognoli and his staff to look at the "human aspect" of other players.
