McLeish furious over free-kick

Manager Alex McLeish was furious with Spanish referee Manuel Enrique Mejuto Gonzalez after Scotland slipped to a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Italy at Hampden Park to end their hopes of qualifying for Euro 2008.

Luca Toni put the Italians ahead after just 72 seconds before Barry Ferguson bundled home to equalise with 25 minutes left, but Christian Panucci’s injury-time header sealed the Scots’ fate.
