    Former Northern Ireland defender Gerry Taggart: "When you have foreign referees on your own soil you have to be a little bit careful. There was nothing malcious in that from Lafferty, the centre half has made a lot of it."

    Big news in Group D as Poland take an early lead against Gibraltar.

    Hardly a shock of course but it means they top the group, ahead of Germany, Republic of Ireland and Scotland.

  5. YELLOW CARD - Lafferty bannedpublished at 19:55

    Northern Ireland 0-0 Hungary

    Bad news for Northern Ireland as top striker Kyle Lafferty piles into a late challenge and picks up a booking which rules him out of the next game against Greece. Even more reason to wrap it up tonight lads...

    Scotland 0-0 Germany

    A little bit of Arsenal v Norwich as Mesut Ozil drives forwards and has a shot well charged down by Russell Martin. Joachim Low doesn't look too impressed with his side's start.

    Hungary looking shaky at the back, conceding unnecessary free-kicks in tough areas. Send up the big men!

    Tom Hughes: Come on Green and white army end (nearly) 30 years of hurt and join England in the euros.

    The hosts off to a fairly bright start? Is their line-up lacking in ambition though? Robbie Keane rather starved of support up top.

    Former Northern Ireland defender Gerry Taggart: "It is a bit scrappy to start with. The Hungarians are trying to get the ball down and play the typical European style while Northern Ireland are trying to put them under pressure."

    Northern Ireland 0-0 Hungary

    Hungary, keen to play the role of party poopers, have the first strike on goal, with Balazs Dzsudzsak firing wide from 20 yards. Good crack.

    "Fair play to the Scotland fans - that was some racket they were making at kick-off. The Germans have been speaking about looking forward to sampling the atmosphere here, but they'll be well used to nights like this, with Bundesliga crowds well known for their own ability to make a bit of noise."

    Scotland get through the first 90 seconds without conceding. Germany seeing all of the ball against a very rigid-looking Scottish line-up.

    Corry Evans nails his man with an early reducer - perhaps a sign of why he's in the team tonight? The fans love that.

    "Scotland can raise themselves, it is going to be a tough one and a point would be fabulous.

    "They haven't had the best preparation, they were forced to eat Burger King after the game in Georgia on Friday night."

    Someone say 'big game?'

    Sir Alex Ferguson is the guest of honour at Hampden Park, shaking hands with one and all. He knows how to win games like this. Wonder if he's given former student Gordon Strachan a few tips?
