  3. Griffiths header

    Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Rob Maclean
    BBC Scotland

    You had your money on Leigh Griffiths levelling things up there. A free header on the end of another brilliant Andy Robertson cross which went straight at the keeper. Officially into panic time now.  

  4. Slovenia 1-0 Slovakia

    Alasdair Lamont
    BBC Sport Scotland in Slovenia

    The home side finally make a deserved breakthrough. It's the substitute Rok Kronaveter - only on the park a couple of minutes - who finds space on the edge of the box and beats Matus Kozacik with a sidefooted finish.

  5. CLOSE!

    Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Leigh Griffiths, it must be! NO! Andrew Robertson whips in a sumptuous cross and substitute Leigh Griffiths has a free header but his effort is straight into the grateful arms of Setkus.

  7. Scotland 'still have time'

    Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Former Scotland defender Willie Miller on Radio Scotland: "Anything other than a victory is going to put huge pressure on Gordon and the whole squad. But they have still got time to do something about it."

  9. CLOSE!

    Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Another chance for the visitors: route one football Wimbledon-style this time. Long ball, header, flick on and the goalscorer Cernych flashes a shot narrowly wide.

    Scottish hearts in mouths there...

  10. Final Scotland change

    Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths comes on for Matt Ritchie as a grim-faced Gordon Strachan looks on from his technical area.

    The Scotland boss looks like a lion-tamer who's come to face his hairy foe only to realise he's forgotten his chair and whip...

  11. Off target

    Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Rob Maclean
    BBC Scotland

    Thirteen attempts on goal for Scotland. Only one on target so far. Stats shocker.

  13. Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Rob Maclean
    BBC Scotland

    Suddenly we have Georgia on our minds. And that result which killed the last qualification campaign. Time to turn this round though. And I did say 2-1 Scotland. Prediction still intact... 

  14. Scots need 'big moment'

    Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Richard Wilson
    BBC Scotland at Hampden

    Frustration grows at Hamden. Scotland have collected half-chances in the game, but nothing as clear cut as the effort from which Lithuania scored from. It is early in the campaign, so nothing is irredeemable, but the sense around Hampden is of a significant setback unfolding before us. Scotland need some big moments from some big players to turn this around

  16. Forrest chance

    Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Rob Maclean
    BBC Scotland

    Expected James Forrest to hit the target at least as Scotland pressed for an equaliser. The ball broke back to him so invitingly. Dragged his shot wide when he could have been scoring.

  18. 'Brilliant from Cernych'

    Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Former Scotland striker Steven Thompson on Radio Scotland: "Terrible for Scotland, absolutely terrible, but brilliant play from Cernych."

  19. CLOSE!

    Scotland 0-1 Lithuania

    Scotland surge forward in search of an equaliser and Lithuania keeper Setkus's parry clear lands at the feet of substitute James Forrest. But the Celtic winger's shot fizzes inches wide of goal.

  20. Lithuania break the deadlock

    Rob Maclean
    BBC Scotland

    There's that sucker punch. The Scotland defence carved open too easily and Cernych fires in the goal which gives Gordon Strachan & Co a serious uphill struggle.
