-Ally Mc Coist was carried off in the 83rd minute with a fractured leg. Scotland having already made both its substitutions was forced to play with ten men.
-This was Scotland’s worst defeat since losing to England 0-5 in 1973 and 3-9 in 1961.
This was Scotland’s worst defeat vs. non-British opposition since losing 0-7 to Uruguay during the 1954 World Cup.

-Sandor Puhl, the referee of this match, refereed the World Cup Final match between Brazil and Italy the following year.
-This defeat essentially sealed Scotland’s fate in this group, as well as, Scotland manager Andy Roxburgh’s.

His assistant Craig Brown replaced him.
-Scotland Captain Richard Gough quit the Scotland team in disgust after a bitter dispute with the manager over the tactics for the game.
He ended his national team career after 10 years after this match.

In an interview with “Herald Scotland” on March 25, 2011, Gough regretted his decision to quit and stated that he should have carried on playing.
