Scotland fans expressed their disappointment online following the 3-0 Uefa Nations League loss to Ireland.
The national team weren’t at the races at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium and were comfortably beaten by an Irish side winning their first competitive home game since 2019.
After a victory against Armenia at Hampden on Wednesday to start Group B1 this defeat is a major setback for the Scots.
The winner of the section secures a play-off place for Euro 2024 and Ukraine top the table with six points from their first two games.
Twitter users Will Callinson, Peter Stewart and Colin McDonald pulled no punches in their assessment of Scotland’s display.
This @ScotlandNT are embarrassing today
McGinn – done nothing
Adams – done nothing
Robertson – nothing
Hanlay- terrible
McTominay- terrible
Manager – wrong team, wrong tactics— Will Callison (@Will6118) June 11, 2022

Up there with one of the most horrific scotland performances I’ve had the burden of witnessing

In the first period Scotland did have a couple of opportunities courtesy of John McGinn, who couldn’t convert, much to the disappointment of Iain Lawless.
How many sitters is McGinn going to miss.

And the Tartan Army were quick to have their say online as Scotland fell 2-0 down in the first half to goals from Alan Browne and Troy Parrott.
We are back to where we were pre Euro 2020. Think it will be another 20 years before the next tournament. Anyone can see McGinn is burnt out after the season, Robertson the same. Gordon and Hanley passed their sell by date at this level, Adams not good enough.

One of the worst first half's I've seen since the Faroe Island under Berti Vogts years ago shocking

We can’t do simple defending it’s unreal

Michael Obafemi’s third goal for Ireland early in the second half prompted some supporters to call for Steve Clarke to removed as Scotland manager.
Clarke has to go after this, most embarrassing performance since Kazakhstan away
