Highlights: Scotland 0-1 Japan
BBC Scotland is currently taking votes on the nation's most iconic goal; Denis Law and James McFadden; Archie Gemmill and Kenny McLean; Kenny Dalglish and Scott McTominay. Take your pick of the immortals.
From the return to Hampden after the glories of Denmark last November there was nothing to trouble the jury, no Scottish goal of any kind, not a bicycle kick from the gods, not a stunner from the halfway line, not even an ugly, sclaffed effort that found Japan's net off a Scottish backside. That would have been a thing of beauty on the night.
Nothing may ever hold a candle to that evening against Denmark, but this was a bit of a letdown. There wasn't much atmosphere, wasn't much attitude, wasn't any real standout displays from any of Scotland's go-to men, who were all a bit timid.
There was a debut for Findlay Curtis, which was a nice moment. There was a start for Tommy Conway, who's going well with Middlesbrough, second in the Championship in England.
