No need to panic – but Scotland must beat Lichtenstein, says Lewis Ferguson

Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson stressed there was no need to panic after Friday’s defeat by Iceland – but he admits they need a win in Liechtenstein to restore some confidence.

Steve Clarke’s men travel to Vaduz on the back of a 3-1 Hampden loss, which left them with only one win in their last nine home matches.

Fans are now looking for some encouragement ahead of the World Cup qualifying campaign in the autumn, with Scotland up against Denmark, Greece and Belarus.

There are only three professionals in Liechtenstein’s squad and they are ranked 205th in the world, plus they were on the end of San Marino’s first win for 20 years in November.

But Scotland laboured to a 1-0 win on their previous trip to Vaduz and Ferguson stressed a big performance is needed on Monday night.

“We need to win our next game,” the Bologna midfielder said. “We need to go and put on a performance, a good performance and a winning performance.

“That’s the only thing that breeds confidence, winning games, so we need to get back to that.

“There shouldn’t be any panic. We’ve got a really strong squad, good players, good quality, loads of experience in the team, so there should be no panic.

“But we do need to get back to winning ways and get back to performing at the levels we’ve set ourselves.”
