Toni on the double as Scottish hopes nosedive

SCOTLAND’S Euro 2008 qualification hopes suffered a blow as they lost to two Luca Toni goals as Italy won 2-0 in Bari.

Confidence had been high after Saturday’s 2-1 win over Georgia saw the Scots remain at the top of Group B, along with France.

But a Toni double gave the world champions a much-needed victory after four months out of action and just two previous wins in the group.
