Scotland captain Andy Robertson admits he is suffering the worst emotions of his football career after a number of near misses in huge games.
But the Liverpool player is more concerned about the feeling of loss among his Scotland team-mates after their World Cup hopes were dashed by Ukraine.
A 3-1 Hampden defeat in the play-off semi-finals on Wednesday means Scotland's long wait for a first World Cup experience since 1998 continues.
The defeat followed quickly from Liverpool's Champions League final reverse against Real Madrid and being pipped by Manchester City amid late drama on the final day of the Premier League season.
