CLOSE!
Tierney hopefully punts one forward into the box and it bounces favourably for Shankland, who beats the onrushing goalkeeper to it, but he can only steer the header over the top!

GREAT SAVE!
Armstrong crosses from the left, Adams helps it on, and Ferguson comes crashing in, and his header forces a great reflex stop from Peacock-Farrell!

WHAT A BLOCK!
The corner comes out to Armstrong, whose shot ensues a ricocheting pinball in the box, before coming out to Shankland who swipes at it, and forces a great block from Spencer!

CORNER, SCOTLAND
Good defending from Toal as Tierney creates half a yard to cross. The Northern Irish defender nods it behind.

CLOSE!
Scotland come the closest they have all night to a goal as Stuart Armstrong makes an instant impact with a great free kick to the far post, where Jack Hendry is sliding in, but he tries to put it back across goal rather than prodding it towards the net!

SCOTLAND CONTINUE TO PUT THE PRESSURE ON
... but the visitors are defending resolutely. Ferguson forces the corner as he bursts in behind to latch on to a lofted ball over the top, but Ballard comes across to concede the corner, which Gilmour wastes.
65'
ANOTHER PENALTY CLAIM
... from the home fans as Tierney crosses early, and Spencer barges McGinn at the far post under the high ball, but the referee doesn't react.

CLOSE!
McGinn flights it in and Cooper gets the final flick after initial first contact from Toal, but it's wide of the mark.
62'
FREE KICK, SCOTLAND
Toal just nudges McGinn on the right wing, and Scotland earn a chance to whip the ball into the box.
60'
AN HOUR PLAYED
... and it's still not happening for Scotland quite yet. They're trying to zip the ball around with a bit more urgency, but they're not quite clicking with each other.
