Andy Robertson, Scotland captain (left), missed a clear-cut chance against Moldova
Scotland's victory against Moldova at home was their first win in five games. They are now third in their World Cup qualifying group, as Austria lost to Israel.
It sounds like a great night's work, so what is all the pessimism about it?
Steve Clarke, Scotland's boss, asked his team to be on the front foot and to keep their heads up.
Although the head coach was granted his wish, it could have been much more enjoyable for the hosts to face the 175th-ranked country in the world.
BBC Scotland examines the reasons why this is a popular theme for Clarke's side.
"It could have been a much easier night"
The hosts were greeted by a huge crowd at Hampden cheering on the Scots. A routine win seemed certain when Lyndon Dykes scored a 14-minute opener.
However, Scotland missed several opportunities to be guilty-edged and it set up a tension against the Moldovan minnows.
Ten of the 16 Scottish efforts Saturday were captured from within the box. They only managed to achieve one goal.
Scotland had 25 touches in Moldova's box, but did not convert more than one chance
Clarke stated post-match, "You always need to have the second goal in order to stop that nervy last 5 minutes. But if you keep clean sheets, you win games."
Although the Scotland manager appeared to be content with one strike, Stuart McCall, a former Scotland midfielder feels that it was "hugely disappointing” to miss a series of opportunities.
McCall stated that he was an ex-manager and couldn't do more. McCall spoke on BBC Sportsound. It could have been a much easier night. We've had five great chances over the course of the piece that we haven't taken.
"You thought they would concede to another goal, but that didn't happen. Poor finishing is the reason. They didn't have half the chances.
Tom English, chief sports writer at BBC Scotland, said: "It wasn't feeble Scotland were in this position. They will not win the games against Israel and Austria if they continue to miss those opportunities.
This is not a new concept.
Is Saturday night an isolated event? This is a common occurrence.
From 62 attempts, they scored only two goals in Scotland's five previous fixtures: three against Denmark at Euro 2020 and the World Cup qualifiers against Moldova.
Scotland had only one game in which they were able to score more than the opposition, and won just one.
Clarke's side has the lowest conversion rate of any 19 European countries that will play at least 10 games by 2021.
Only four European countries have a shot conversion rate lower than Scotland in 2021
At least, Scotland is 'creating'
Clarke said it post-match: "At least we're getting the chance" is a classic football cliche. In this instance, it definitely applies.
How do you break the burden?
Neil McCann, ex-Scotland winger, said that it is important not to get too tight when there are opportunities.
You won't achieve the calm finish you want if you tighten up. You feel the difference when you have one and two.
Clarke is the manager of Scotland's players. He doesn't seem to be phased by their lack of conversion. This should help his side relax ahead of Tuesday's crunch match in Vienna.
Clarke stated, "If you don't create chances, you're even more worried." "If we don’t concede, get one shot and score it. That will be clinical enough."
