It was a harsh lesson for Scotland as they prepare for the opening game of Euro 2024 as the Netherlands ran out 4-0 winners.
The pundits were left 'screaming' for Lawrence Shankland to score in the Viaplay Sports studio - but neither Alan Hutton or Robert Snodgrass were ready to hold it against him.
Scotland passed up a host of chances in the second half with Hearts star Shankland missing a brilliant chance before Ronald Koeman's men moved up a gear. Georginio Wijnaldum headed into the net before Wout Weghorst and Donyell Malen came off the bench to get in on the action at the Johan Cruyff Arena. And while that four-goal capitulation was a major concern, the big frustration was Scotland's failure to take their own big chances.
