Scottland FC’s impressive debut season in the top flight has hit its first real stumbling block, with discontent brewing among fans despite the Mabvuku-based side sitting comfortably in third place. A frustrating 1-1 draw against Yadah FC—where Khama Billiat’s 26th-minute opener was canceled out by Francis Mustafa’s 44th-minute equalizer—has sparked unrest, with sections of the supporters calling for changes despite the club’s strong start.
With three wins, two draws, and just one defeat from six matches, Scottland have amassed 11 points—just three behind leaders MWOS FC. Yet, the dissatisfaction stems from the team’s perceived failure to dominate games despite their star power. Club owner Hon. Scott Sakupwanya is reportedly unimpressed with the style of play, raising questions over whether the squad is truly maximizing its potential.
Now, the pressure intensifies as Scottland prepare to host Zimbabwean football royalty, FC Platinum. The Zvishavane giants have stuttered recently with a string of draws but remain a formidable force. For Platinum, this is the perfect opportunity to reignite their title charge by taking down the league’s flashy newcomers.
For Scottland, this is more than just a test—it’s a chance to silence doubters and prove they can mix it with the PSL’s elite. Will Billiat and co. rise to the occasion, or will FC Platinum’s experience prove decisive? One thing is certain: the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Who blinks first?
