  1. Oops!published at 21mins

    Scotland 0-0 Belgium

    Nervous moment for Belgium's Thibaut Courtois.

    John McGinn drives forward and unleashes a powerful drive that, although it is straight at the Real Madrid goalkeeper, is fumbled by the former Chelsea man and it bounces through his legs before he catches it behind him at the second attemps.

    Belgium are being restricted to long-range efforts and Youri Tielemans tries his luck this time from 25 yards, but it flies well over.

    Scotland’s big problem for a long time has been middle to front. It looks a little fragmented tonight with Leigh Griffiths at times coming too deep and balls wasted when he does make runs.

    Belgium at last find a bit of space just outside the home penalty box and Dries Mertens' curling drive dips a few feet over the crossbar.

    Scotland 0-0 Belgium

    Belgium are probing, but it is at walking pace and the Scots are keeping them at bay and looking threatening on the break.

    Belgium so clever at closing the angles and allowing Scotland to make mistakes when in possession. The home side look a threat when Callum McGregor gets in his groove though.

    Eden Hazard leaves John McGinn on his backside not once but twice before linking with his brother inside the penalty box.

    But Thorgan Hazard scuffs his shot wide from 12 yards.

    bringthemonjpn: Scotland all set to go with an attacking midfield. First time since that match against Holland in the 1978 world cup finals.

    Scotland are first to threaten as Kevin McDonald's through ball is dummied by Leigh Griffiths and Callum McGregor fires wide.

    But Griffiths had come from an offside position before the Celtic midfielder fired just wide.

    Alex McLeish says he wants to leave Hampden tonight having proven his players can go toe-to-toe at this level. It’s bold, but is it realistic?

    It’s his toughest test yet in his second spell in charge and, if he is to upset the odds, few will see it in the flesh. The national stadium is half full at best.
