"Ben Doak has to start." Peter Martin, Alex Rae and Allan Rough on the changes Scotland must make against Switzerland after a flat draw in Slovenia. The panel make the case that Sebastian Pocognoli has to get Ben Doak into the team at home, even if it means dropping Aaron Hickey, to give the two strikers proper supply down the flanks. They debate the forward options - Ryan Christie off one up front, Bowie to start with McBurnie on the bench - whether to stick with the 3-5-2, why the Nations League group is there to be won, and who on the bench can actually change this Scotland side.
