Scotland 1 Luxembourg 0 RECAP : Che Adams hits winning goal in final Euro 2020 warm-up, debut for Rangers' Nathan Patterson and more minutes for Chelsea starlet Billy Gilmour

Che Adams scored the first half and it proved to be the winner, despite several chances for Scotland to extend their advantage.

Lyndon Dykes hit the post and also spurned two chances against the ten men following Vahid Selimovic’s red card.

Nathan Patterson made his international debut off the bench in the second half but there was concern over Billy Gilmour after a clattering in the second half by Olivier Thill that only brought a yellow card – and the midfielder being withdrawn as a precaution by the Scotland management after just over 20 minutes of action.

After this it’s now next stop Middlesbrough for the team base for the group stage games against Czech Republic and Croatia at Hampden – either side of a trip to Wembley for the Group D match with England.

Steve Clarke has already had the squad in Spain for some training and bonding – as well as a warm-up game for some of the squad against Holland.

It was a respectable performance against the Netherlands which has been met with a cautious optimism after a 2-2 draw and tonight’s match was another chance for game-time ahead of the Czech meeting on June 14.

Sunderland ‘close in’ on new coach

Sunderland are reportedly close to appointing a new first-team coach.

Phil Jevons, an academy coach at Everton, is set to join Lee Johnson’s backroom staff, according to The Sun’s Alan Nixon.

The former striker was a somewhat journeyman during his playing career having progressed through the Toffees youth set up.

Jevons featured for nine clubs in total and was teammates with Johnson at Yeovil Town and Bristol City.

The 42-year-old started working at Everton’s academy during the latter stages of his playing days – spending nine years there.

Nixon tweeted: “Sunderland. Going to bring in coach Phil Jevons from Everton to work with first team. Been at under 18 level at Goodison … now stepping up.”

The return of a familiar face

Former Sunderland owner and lifelong fan Bob Murray was spotted back at the Stadium of Light for the win over Accrington Stanley.

Murray funded the Black Cats’ move for the Roker Park to the SOL in 1997 before selling his majority shareholding to the Drumavile consortium, nine years later.

For so long, Murray was not welcome at the stadium he had built after a serious rift developed between him and Ellis Short.

He also wasn’t a fan of Stewart Donald and Charlie Methven – but there appears to be no such problem with new owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus.

Murray was in the directors’ box following an invitation from KLD as Sunderland beat Accrington to 2-1.

Flanagan has started every league game for Sunderland this season but will now be suspended for the Fleetwood fixture.

Either Bailey Wright or West Ham loanee Frederik Alves will be expected to come into the side alongside Callum Doyle.
