    Northern Ireland 0-0 Greece

    The hosts continue their bright start as they look for an opener. Northern Ireland perhaps a goal away from France remember. Will nerves become a factor as the game wears on? Greece - out of it, behind the Faroe Islands, have nothing to play for.

    Alastair Syme: Not surprised by that, Strachan only picking players who play for higher up clubs, not in-form players. Terrible team choice.

    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra at Hampden Park

    "Scotland had decided to play incredibly openly, but unfortunately for them them there is one obviously top quality player on the pitch, and he's just scored.

    "It looked like Robert Lewandowski was a tiny bit offside, but you couldn't tell with the naked eye."

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Germany

    That Poland goal could be good news for the Republic - and Scotland were actually behind before the game in Dublin had even kicked off!

    "Northern Ireland have started really strongly, on the front foot. They're in their faces, getting the ball forward early. Greece look indecisive in their back line."

    We said he is averaging three goals a game - andRobert Lewandowskidoesn't take long to get the Polish ball rolling in Glasgow. He runs on to a fine pass through and slots in at the near post. Offside? Just on I think...

    Northern Ireland 0-0 Greece

    Northern Ireland go direct - to good effect. Oliver Norwood flicks the ball on and Josh Magennis is on the hunt. He tries to get the shot away but the text commentator's friend Sokratis Papastathopoulos cuts it out.

    From the corner, Norwood slices wide.

    "Even if Northern Ireland don't qualify for Euro 2016, which, touch wood, is highly unlikely, manager Michael O'Neill will still be offered a new contract. Because he has transformed Northern Irish football so much for the better. 

    "And if they do qualify then they'll be hurriedly trying to get something sorted out, because O'Neill is out of contract in the summer."

    BBC Sport NI's Richard Petrie: "Northern Ireland supporters crank up the volume inside the stadium on what they hope will be a historic night of celebration in Belfast.

    "A rapturous reception greets the players as they come onto the pitch. Windsor Park is a sea of green and a cauldron of noise."

    Scotland boss Gordon Strachan: "They're the ones, they are ready, the attacking ones have been in great form recently - and that is important because I have had to leave out some very good players.

    "You won't always get everything right 100% of the time but I picked this team for this game."

  17. Best in the world?published at 19:37

    Scotland v Poland (19:45 BST)

    In fact, Scotland will face the world's best striker in Robert Lewandowski, according to visiting coach Adam Nawalka.

    "For me, he is the number one," said Nawalka.

    "He's the best striker in the world. I know him personally, I know his skills. I can count on him."

    Is Lewandowski the best striker in the world? He may be the best free transfer in the game...

    Scotland v Poland (19:45 BST)

    David Fawkes on Facebook: "Strachan should announce a 12/13 man squad from now on as he seems hell bent on using the same players. Time will come when he complains of a lack of players with international experience - one person to blame for that!"

    Philip Vass on Facebook: "Wrong keeper and wrong striker disappointing as we have good players but never seem to pick the ones in best form."
