You are the Scotland boss - what would you do?

What the report says
BBC Sport Football reported that Sebastien Pocognoli will take charge of Scotland at Hampden Park on Tuesday, when the national team host Switzerland in the Nations League. It is his first home match in charge, following a 0-0 draw away to Slovenia in his opening game, and the article frames the selection debate around whether he should keep faith with the lineup and system used there.
In Slovenia, Pocognoli used three centre-backs, wing-backs and a front two, with eight uncapped players included in his first squad. Robbie Ure and Stephen Welsh started, while Ben Gannon-Doak and Kieron Bowie came off the bench. The BBC piece says Scotland looked stronger after halftime, but could not turn that pressure into a goal. It also notes that Switzerland are a tougher opponent, which may influence any changes.
The article highlights several selection questions across the pitch. At the back, Pocognoli may be reluctant to abandon the defensive structure so early, although Scotland were occasionally exposed in the first half. In midfield, Billy Gilmour stood out in the opener, Lewis Ferguson played alongside him, and John McGinn, Ryan Christie and others offer different options. Up front, Oli McBurnie, Robbie Ure and Kieron Bowie are competing for places after all showing promising signs.
More broadly, the match is significant because Scotland have four Nations League games in 11 days, making squad rotation and tactical balance important as the new coach settles in.
