    Kazakhstan have already scored half the number of goals they managed in their World Cup qualifying campaign

  3. GREAT SAVE!published at 54 mins

    Kazakhstan 3-0 Scotland

    Stuart Armstrong slaloms his way past a couple of challenges to make progress in the home penalty box. The Southampton man looks sure to reduce the deficit, but no goalkeeper Dmytro Nepohodov gets fingertips on the shot to push it wide.

    No pressure on the ball - It’s all to easy. McKenna should be doing better. It’s like slow motion - no pressure on the ball. Brilliant from them, but we’re just all over the place. It’s game over now.

    GOAL Kazakhstan 3-0 Scotlandpublished at 50 mins

    Baktiyar Zainutdinov

    The horror show continues... A deep cross from Gafurzhan Suyumbayev has Scott McKenna in trouble as he is out-jumped by Baktiyar Zainutdinov, who steers a clever header, angled header back into the opposite corner.

    It's still not happening for Scotland as Liam Palmer lets a simple pass bobble away from him and out for a throw-in to the hosts.

    It’s footballing Brexit. No leadership, no ideas, no courage. Their passive attitude stinks. It’s been inept. We have a leader in trouble because this is an embarrassing performance even though it’s a team missing a lot of its leaders. It’s a non performance.

    We have to get aggressive in the middle of the park. Our midfield trio are not a natural holding trio. Going forward we’ve not created anything. There's been no inventive movement in the midfield. The full-backs need to get higher to attract their wing-backs and then we get Burke and Forrest on the ball.

    Quote Message

    Scotland's lack of experience at the back has been shown up. Graeme Shinnie has played left-back on so many occasions, but you can't have that amnesia he had for both goals. Kazakhstan have outplayed us all over the park.

  12. What now for McLeish?published at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 21 March 2019

    HT: Kazakhstan 2-0 Scotland

    What does Alex McLeish do at half time? Something needs to change and quick. The defence is spooked and there's really been nothing going on in attack after a couple of bursts down the left from Oli Burke.

    Kazakhstan aren't going to roll over, that's for sure. The hosts are playing with real fire in their bellies, sensing a famous win.

    McLeish must know his neck is on the block...

  14. HALF-TIME Kazakhstan 2-0 Scotlandpublished at 45 mins

    It's been horrible, really horrible. Scotland are getting a chasing by Kazakhstan.

    Yuriy Pertsukh smashed in a sixth-minute opener and Yan Vorogovskiy doubled the hosts' lead soon after, with the Scottish defence all at sea on both occasions.

    If you thought the recent defeat in Israel was bad, this is next level stuff.

    No signs of a likely comeback as half time approaches. If anything, Scotland's play is deteriorating further.

    Scotland are all over the place just now and that is worrying. I'm failing to see a way back. The Kazakhs are playing quick and slick with a 2-0 lead.

  17. YELLOW CARD McBurnie (Scotland)published at 37 mins

    Kazakhstan 2-0 Scotland

    Scotland striker Oli McBurnie looks really out of sorts, although he's not the only one, and picks up a booking for a late challenge on Alexander Merkel.

    TV pictures are back and I'm afraid Scotland are still trailing...
