The doomsday scenario had opened up before our eyes: 1-1 against Cyprus. Everything we thought and hoped for for Steve Clarke's new bold reign was shredded.

[Had it finished 1-1] Scotland's chances in the group would've been obliterated. But, fair play, they didn't create much on the night. But when they needed salvation, they got it.

It was an incredible leap by Burke.

Italy's Twitter account described that victory as "a perfect, professional display" and they're not far off.

They did the damage in the first half - scoring all three goals before the break.

The Azzurri now sit top of Group J with three wins from three. Three points clear of Finland, their nearest rivals.

The Germans get the job done in Belarus with a fairly comfortable win.

Leroy Sane and Marco Reus both get on the scoresheet, either side of the break.

Germany sit second in Group C with two wins from two.

Northern Ireland top that group having beaten Estonia to maintain their perfect start to Euro 2020 qualifying earlier today.

This one's a bit of a shock.

The world champions are beaten by Turkey and, in truth, they deserved to lose - they were lacklustre throughout.

Turkey now top Group H with three wins from three.

France sit in second place with six points from three games - they're level with Iceland.

Super-sub Oliver Burke ensures Steve Clarke's Scotland tenure gets off to a winning start with a late, late goal to floor Cyprus.

Captain Andy Robertson's howitzer looked to have been enough to win the game before Ioannis Kousoulos's headed equaliser.

Following Scotland may be a lot of things but it's rarely dull...

One minute of added time remaining, and Cyprus have a free kick, deep in Scotland territory...

But Efrem balloons his effort high and wide of goal.

Peter Humfrey: 2-1 seems a fair result for a game that really got going this half.

Five minutes of added time...

Ryan Fraser scampers towards goal before arrowing a dangerous shot at goal... but Cyprus goalkeeper Pardo flies through the Glasgow night sky to tip the ball away for a corner.

One for the cameras there...

Scotland clear a cross into the box, somewhat unconvincingly through Scott McKenna, as the visitors chase a late, late equaliser.

Efrem then sees his shot gathered by David Marshall.

Scott McTominay comes on for the industrious John McGinn as Steve Clarke seeks to steer the Scottish ship home to victory and three crucial Euro 2020 qualification points.

Greece boss Angelos Anastasiadis made two changes at the break but little has changed with Italy continuing to dominate.

Nicolo Barella has tested the Greece keeper while Alessandro Florenzi flashed an effort over the bar.

Like Glasgow buses, we get two chances along within a minute. Cyprus pounce on a John McGinn mistake but Makris sees his deflected effort brilliantly saved by David Marshall.

Seconds later, Scotland come roaring forward as McGinn - keen to atone for his error - frees Stephen O'Donnell, who clips a shot over Pardo but inches wide of goal.

We're into the final 15 minutes at Hampden, with Scotland looking to hold on for victory in Steve Clarke's first game in charge of the national side.

Captain Andy Robertson has led by example, and shown his team-mates the way to goal, with a stunning strike.

The world champions aren't looking like turning it around in Turkey.

The hosts have continued to dominate in the second half with Mahmut Tekdemir the latest to try his luck - forcing Hugo Lloris to tip his swerving drive over the bar.

Scotland debutant Eamonn Brophy's game comes to an end as he exchanges a high-five with galloping winger Oliver Burke.
