The post-match praise from Scotland’s last run out in Edinburgh could not have been any greater. <\/p>\n

From Martinez Losa admitting they showed the “best version of themselves”, to left-back Nicola Docherty adding “excellent” Scotland had their “belief and winning mentality back”, the confidence could not have been any higher. <\/p>\n

That carried into this camp. <\/p>\n

Throughout this week, the vibe has been calm but confident. Respectful but ready. <\/p>\n

However, once the disco lights dimmed and the fireworks display dissolved, Scotland were slow – and second best. <\/p>\n

If it had not been for a sensational save from goalkeeper Eartha Cumings in the first-half, the Scots could have been facing an uphill hike in Helsinki.<\/p>\n

And, although a stalemate is no disaster, it left former Scotland defender Emma Black “deflated”.<\/p>\n

“We’re at home – we should have took the game to Finland,” she told Sportsound. “We went into this game as favourites and we just looked a shadow of ourselves compared to the Hungary game.<\/p>\n

“We looked very nervous. We dropped deep and we allowed them to have possession.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
