No is the answer as Grant Hanley is penalised for some pulling and shoving with the ball in mid air.

Scotland win their first corner of the match as Ikechi Anya does well to hassle Andrea Barzagli. Can we make the set-piece count?

With all of these changes, Italy have lost their earlier rhythm but Scotland still can't make any inroads into the opposition half.

Jorge Luiz Jorginho takes over from Daniele De Rossi in the heart of the Italy midfield. Simone Zaza is on for goal scorer Graziano Pelle.

Former Scotland striker Steven Thompson on BBC Radio Scotland: "I'd like to see Scotland offer something in an attacking sense. It's a friendly, so there's nothing to lose. Why not bring on another forward?"

Andy Ham, Edinburgh: "There is just an endless stream of negativity here. This is a fairly meaningless end of season friendly for us; half our squad is unavailable and we are playing a top team. I'm not sure what all these folk are expecting."

Another Italy change. Marco Parolo takes over from Antonio Candreva.

Going back to the goal and the comment made by our man in Malta, Alasdair. Scotland skipper Darren Fletcher trod on the ball and slipped to give it away just moments before the deadlock was broken.

Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi come on for Italy. Eder and Matteo Darmian make way.

"Darren Fletcher has given away possession on countless occasions this evening and Scotland are fortunate not to have been punished as a result. The Scotland captain is one player you'd expect not to be so careless."

Ikechi Anya, back in a more advanced role now, runs deep into enemy territory but is soon clipped by Daniele De Rossi for his cheek.

A bit of a scruffy start to the second half. Russell Martin has taken over at right-back, with Christophe Berra joining Grant Hanley in the middle of defence.

Scotland fans respond to JD of Glasgow's call for Gordon Strachan to get sacked.

Ian, South Ayrshire: "Saying Strachan out without suggesting an alternative is like saying "its rubbish"...."why is it rubbish?..."cause it is!". I think we missed a trick by not getting to France, that said I am struggling to replace Strachan. At least JD and the rest of the no believers, if u are brave enough to wish GS the sack, offer an alternative."

Mac, Lochgilphead: "Who do you propose we replace Strachan with? Mourinho will be gutted he took the Old Trafford job if he knew you were thinking about getting rid of Strachan eh?"

The second half is under way and Scotland have made a couple of changes, with Steven Fletcher taking over from striker Ross McCormack and Christophe Berra on for Callum Paterson at the back.

Hmmmm... I'm not sure formations have much to do with Scotland's troubles. If we had two up top, it would just be two players isolated.

Steven Fletcher and Christophe Berra have had their half-time drills interrupted and are back up the tunnel. Will we be seeing those two at the start of the second half?
