Snubbed by Hajime Moriyasu, Reo Hatate got along to Hampden last night for a very raw taste of international football.
What he made of the elite action might be interesting as Steve Clarke’s side applied a blood and snotters approach to achieving a result.
On a sub-standard surface Scotland certainly got in the faces of their opponents as they dragged Spain down to their level in a classic spoiling display that saw Ryan Porteous hit the deck every 10 minutes.

The result was all that mattered with the Scotland fans looking forward to the real prospect of attending next summer’s European Championship Finals in Germany.
At Celtic Ange Postecoglou has a very definite way of playing the game, at Hampden last night Hatate discovered that there are other ways to skin a cat.
After going off injured within 15 minutes of Celtic’s 3-1 win over Hibs hoops fans will be hoping to see Hatate in action away to Ross County on Sunday.
