Hang on a minute. Charlie Mulgrew is fouled by Emre Can in a dangerous area wide on the left. Shaun Maloney whips in a dangerous free kick, the normally reliable Manuel Neuer flaps at the ball and it bounces off of Mats Hummels and into the net.

Graeme Aitken: Scotland. A team of substitutes from the English leagues and a few Celtic players not even good even enough for that. #bbcscotfootball

"All it took was for one player - James McArthur - to just get over-anxious to try to cut a pass out rather than keep the shape and Germany capitalise. The irony is that Thomas Muller didn't really get a hold of the shot, but the slight deflection completely wrong-footed David Marshall."

The world champions break the deadlock - and with it Scottish hearts - as Thomas Muller plays a neat one-two before skipping away from James McArthur. The Bayern Munich man fires a shot that takes a heavy deflection off the heels of Scotland defender Russell Martin and finds the net beyond David Marshall.

Scotland are trying to get the ball up to Steven Fletcher but their sporadic attacks have been comfortably dealt with by the German defence. Manuel Neuer, save for that early sliced clearance, has been a spectator.

Germany's baby-faced assassin Mario Götze is becoming more influential in the game but he has yet to swim through a sea of blue jerseys that guard David Marshall's goal.

What was that we were saying about Scotland's impressive pressing? Mezut Ozil is given oceans of space about 30 yards of goal before getting a shot away. It's blocked and, from the rebound, Toni Kroos drags his effort wide.
The visitors are enjoying the lionshare of possession and are inching their way deep into Scottish territory.

The Germans are zipping the ball about the immaculate surface with aplomb, with Scotland snapping at their heels at every turn. Gündogan tries to wriggle free down the right to no avail.

"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."

Alan Hutton stretches his legs for the first time tonight but his run is cut short by the sliding Toni Kroos. A good open start to proceedings but neither goalkeeper has been tested.

The visitors have the ball early but goalkeeper Manuel Neuer slices a clearance high into the cloudless sky. Scotland, though, can't profit as Germany mop up the danger.
A cracking atmosphere inside Hampden with both sets of fans in fine voice.

"The visiting German fans are in good voice inside Hampden. Wouldn't it be great to follow a team who have a genuine chance of winning every single game they play? No such luck for the Scots, who've been slow to fill the stadium, perhaps wary of what's to come. Nonetheless, with just over five minutes to kick off, the Tartan Army are getting into the swing of things with The Proclaimers' 500 Miles. Ach, maybe we can do this!"
