  1. 'Cling on, boys!'

  2. He's had an unbelievable night. That was a great save down low. Scotland have been lucky tonight having him in goal.

  3. GREAT SAVE!

    Allan McGregor keeps the Czech Republic out with a smart dive down low to his left. Apologies, I can't make out who got the shot in - more a bounce of the ball off his leg than a shot, but a very good save all the same.

  4. Watt debut

    Tony Watt has 12 minutes to show what he can do for Scotland. Ross McCormack is now off.

  5. PENALTY APPEAL

    The Scotland players look far from impressed with Matej Vitra who goes down in the box. Defender Christophe Berra did a bit of the Hokey Cokey there, putting a leg in and taking it out in case he was penalised. There didn't look to be much in that, I reckon.

  6. Watt's up?

    Striker Tony Watt is about to come on for his Scotland debut.

  7. PENALTY APPEAL

    Oh, no. Ref-er-ee! Alan Hutton is tripped by David Limbersky inside the Czech box but the Irish referee Paul McLaughlin doesn't want to know. Play on, he implores.

  8. He's a winner. He's back, he's fully fit and it's great to have him back.

  9. Limbersky header

    It's a difficult one for Czech number eight David Limbersky to take as the ball bounces high in front of him. With the ball rising he does well to nod it at goal but it is well wide.

  11. Classy Snodgrass

    Robert Snodgrass - how great to see a two-footed Scottish player - swings in a cross with his left boot. A cluster of bodies rush towards it at the near post but the ball slides past Tomas Koubek's left-hand post.

  12. He will have found it a learning process. He has done a lot of good things tonight and I think Kenny will be really happy with his debut.

  13. Phillips close shave

    Matt Phillips makes a good early impression as he dives at Robert Snodgrass's cross from the right and nods the ball at goal, but the keeper Tomas Koubek is alert to the danger.

  14. Direction of travel

    The Czechs have forced 10 corners to Scotland's three. 

  15. Double swap for Scotland

    Sheffield Wednesday's Barry Bannan comes on for Andrew Robertson and Queens Park Rangers' Matt Phillips takes to the field for Kenny McLean. Charlie Mulgrew moves to left-back from his defensive midfield starting position.

  16. Half chance for McLean

    Midfielder Kenny McLean doesn't quite connect properly with a shot that goes by the Czech post.

  17. Possession play

    We need to keep hold of the ball. We are putting ourselves under so much pressure.

  19. Czechs need to do Berra than that

    Christophe Berra does well to snuff out an attack as he matches the diving header of his opponent. Allan McGregor is happy to watch the ball trickle past the post.

  20. No substitute for an away win

    I know the real point of this game is to give fringe players a chance to shine, but if the score stays the same I'm so shallow I'd rather Gordon Strachan didn't make too many second-half substitutions. A win's a win and all that.
