    It's an incredible opportunity for Griffiths and you expect him to put it in the back of the net. It's in the perfect position for him and Griffiths just has to get it under the bar, but he doesn't.

    Leigh Griffiths hits the frame of the goal again!

    Stuart Armstrong cuts a great ball in from the right and this time the Celtic striker slams a raking right-foot shot against the base of the post.

    Incredible.

    Leigh Griffiths has to score. He just has to score... Andy Robertson breaks forward at a real gallop and releases Robert Snodgrass, who stands up a brilliant cross for Griffiths to finish off from five yards or so.

    Somehow, the striker slams a volley against the bar.

    Bostjan Cesar, already booked, barges Leigh Girffiths to the grass on the halfway line to concede a foul. The Slovenia captain looks like an angry man.

    "Definite signs the visitors are beginning to find their feet. They're putting pressure on Scotland's full-backs any chance they get. Robertson and Tierney so far allowing them nothing on the flanks."

    "The tempo has got to be higher. Scotland have got to keep the ball down, the midfield have got to look for it.

    James Morrison has been pretty quiet so far but he has the Hampden crowd on their feet as the ball drops to him on the edge of the box and his fierce, rising shot ripples the side-netting on its way wide.

    Roman Bezjak is able to nod the ball into the path of Josip Ilicic after Kieran Tierney fails to head clear a long free-kick. However, the Fiorentina man blazes his volley wide from 18 yards.

    Another booking for the visitors, with Bostjan Cesar cautioned for some ludicrously early time-wasting. The captain then angrily swats the ball away with his hand and gets a stern talking to from referee Bjorn Kuipers.

  10. Danger-man Martinpublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 26 March 2017

    Scotland 0-0 Slovenia

    Defender Russell Martin has already threatened twice in the Slovenia box. First he drew a fine stop from keeper Jan Oblak with a volley and he then had a headed goal ruled out for pushing.

    Third time lucky for the Norwich man?

    Corner number four for Scotland. It's worked short to James Forrest and he takes a touch too many before sending a cross sailing over everyone and out of play.

    "James Forrest continues to impress down the right hand side. It's clear to see he's a man high in confidence. Scotland's movement in general is very encouraging. The Slovenians look happy to allow the home side possession and hit on the break."

    The visitors spring the home offside trap and lone Roman Bezjak is haring in on goal from a tight angle. Craig Gordon stands firm at his near post and keeps out a powerful shot.

    James Forrest scampers down the right and delivers a fabulous first-time cross for Leigh Griffiths to attack. The Celtic striker is in space just eight yards out but the ball is slightly behind him and he can't adjust quickly enough to get his header on target.

    Russell Martin is short with an awkward, scooped back-pass but Scotland keeper Craig Gordon is out of his area quickly to nod the ball away safely.

    Jean Farrugia levels for Malta at home to Slovakia. Scotland could do with a favour from Group F's bottom side.

    It's been a great start. End to end stuff. Really good start from Scotland but you can see what Slovenia are going to do to us as well.

    Another corner, another delivery from Robert Snodgrass finds Russell Martin at the back post and this time he nods it home.

    However, the Norwich defender was doing a bit of pushing and Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers won't stand for it.

    First booking of the match goes to Slovenia left-back Bojan Jokic for a clip on James Forrest. Again, goalie Jan Oblak looks a bit uncertain, tipping over a looping ball after the free-kick is touched on by an outstretched leg.

    Now Slovenia break at pace, with Valter Birsa bursting into the penalty area only to be dispossessed by a great sliding tackle from Andy Robertson.
