## Resource

After a bruising defeat to Brazil leaves Scotland’s World Cup hopes hanging by a thread, Jonathan Sutherland is joined by Stephen McGowan and Andy Halliday to ask the big questions. How did Scotland’s campaign unravel so quickly - and how much did costly individual errors play a part? Where does responsibility lie: with Steve Clarke, the players, or something deeper? Has this group reached its ceiling under the current manager? And what does the future look like with a lack of emerging talent coming through? The panel also asks what must change in youth development, structure and culture if Scotland are to compete at this level again.
