Qazaishvili drives in winner from edge of box
Defeat major blow to Scots' qualification hopes
They are third but could slip to fourth later
Georgia continue to look dangerous on the counter attack until their forays crumble in the final third.
Scotland defend another aerial attack but the hosts are becoming more confident as we approach the 25-minute mark in Tbilisi. It remains goalless in this intriguing Euro 2016 qualifier.

Hutton, Morrison and Brown trade passes before Naismith darts into the box. The Everton man's centre is swept away by some desperate Georgia defending.
Corner for the visitors, but Georgia repel the danger.
Scotland attack down the right and a cross into the box sees Steven Fletcher penalised for an aerial challenge on Georgia keeper Revishvili who came for the cross somewhat unconvincingly.
Georgia midfielder Navalovski, like a cat playing with a ball of wool, keeps possession in midfield as he looks for an opening. Scotland's defence is resolute and there's nothing doing.
"Scotland are well organised and need to keep patient," says BBC Sportsound pundit Willie Miller.
Half-hearted appeals for a Scotland penalty as Andrew Robertson's dangerous cross sees Steven Naismith rise to head but then become entangled with a Georgia defender.
Nothing doing, though, as referee Ovidiu Alin Hategan, with a shake of the head, says no penalty.
Scotland are beginning to enjoy more possession in midfield but they've yet to get lightning-in-a-bottle Ikechi Anya into the game and running at the Georgia defence...yet.
Alan Hutton slaloms through a couple of Georgia challenges before Kashia scythes the full-back down. Referee Ovidiu Alin Hategan is on the scene in seconds to produce the first yellow card of the game.

Emboldened by that early chance, Georgia are zipping the ball about the turf with a growing swagger. Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall gallops from his line to claim a deep cross.
"A poor cross and an easy take," says BBC Sportsound pundit Willie Miller.
Georgia spark the first alarm in the Scotland defence as a promising counter attack fizzles out as Qazaishvili drags his shot well wide of goal when he'd have been better served going for the old "give and go" with a nearby scampering team-mate.
Scotland defender Charlie Mulgrew is coolness personified as he snuffs out an early Georgia attack. The visitors feed the ball down the left as Anya and Robertson look to probe for an opening. Georgia clear their lines.

The Tartan Army are in fine voice! The Georgian offering is almost operatic. Great stuff!

With just minutes to go before kick-off here in Tbilisi, suggestions that the Boris Paichadze Arena would be half full, seem optimistic...
PWS: We had 8 M/Mac/M surnames in a line up at Euro 92!
An all out Mac attack!
BBC Sportsound pundit Willie Miller is an oasis of calm ahead of kick-off; like he's listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and drifting along to Us And Them.
"Don't get carried away," the bold Willie advises listeners. "It's got to be three points tonight but a draw isn't a disaster. And who's to say we can't beat Germany?"
Ah, the dreaded "must win" phrase. Gordon Strachan has fairly bristled at its mention in the week leading up to tonight's qualifier.
However, with four games remaining in Group D, every point is precious.
Scotland host Germany next Monday at Hampden, before Poland at home (8 October) and Gibraltar away (11 October)
It won't come to a nerve-shredding climax against Gibraltar will it? Scotland fans will be twitching like the frazzled Chief Inspector Dreyfus in the Pink Panther.
