BBC Scotland's Chick Young has wondered aloud whether a win in Dortmund would be the greatest result in Scotland's history... would beating the reigning world champions top the lot for you?

Aiden McGeady's late winner gave Scotland's Group D rivals the Republic of Ireland a 2-1 win over Georgia in Tbilisi.

The Everton winger put the Irish ahead with a composed finish before Georgia equalised when Tornike Okriashvili's dipping shot flew into the top corner.

McGeady went close three times in the second half before he completed his double in the last minute.

A bending strike from 18 yards sneaked in to secure a last-gasp victory.

It's beginning to bubble away nicely...

MackerOnTheMed: Positivity is a great thing but Scot are up against Ger let's be real! So they lost 4-2 the other night, back 2 business 2nite.

Dany ‏@Doineann: Can I wish good luck for both? I am from Germany and love Scotland - really difficult for me here...

David Marshall starts in goal for Scotland ahead of Allan McGregor while defender Russell Martin is fit to take his place in defence. Barry Bannan is included in the midfield and Steven Naismith leads the attack.

With the national side still basking in the glory of winning the World Cup in Brazil, Germany manager Joachim Low is attempting to re-tune his champions.

Miroslav Klose, Per Mertesacker and captain Philipp Lahm have all retired, while Bayern Munich's combative midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is sidelined with a knee injury.

Mario Gomez and Marco Reus return to the squad having missed the World Cup success, and the hosts will aim to banish the blues following this week's 4-2 friendly defeat by Argentina.

Good evening and welcome to our live text commentary of Germany v Scotland.

The Scots begin the campaign in fine fettle: life under Strachan has yielded plaudits from fans and pundits alike, and a six-match unbeaten run to boot has given the Tartan Army an extra spring in their collective step.

Is there ever a good time to face the world champions?

Gordon Strachan's Scotland side enter the lion's den in Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park tonight, seeking to cause an eye-rubbing upset by beating Germany.

"For us it's a good time to be playing together," said Strachan ahead of the opening Euro 2016 qualifier.

"We're in a good place at the moment and we're respectful, we understand how good they are, but we're happy with what we've been doing in the last year."
