John McGinn fancies adding to his tally of six goals for the campaign as he takes aim 20 yards out. It's a clean hit but too near the big goalie.

Willie Miller
Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio ScotlandQuote MessageIf we had done the basics in the first half this could've been a canter. It was an embarrassing first half, but we've turned it around without getting too carried away

Oli Burke is left prone on the turf as he barged over near the right edge of the box after controlling with his head. The defender seemed to have lost his bearings and is a lucky man.

Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on SportsoundQuote MessageFor me that's a straight red card. It's over the top of the ball and out of control. It's a leg breaker

Ryan Jack is in pain as he takes a straight leg to the knee from Kazakhstan substitute Kuat.
It's a yellow card but could easily have been red.
The good news is that the Rangers midfielder is back on his feet and looking okay.

BBC Sport Scotland at HampdenThe tempo has dropped a little and Scotland could do with lifting it to find a killer third goal. Otherwise I anticipate a rather nervy final 10 minutes. But some of the Scots’ play has been very easy on the eye in the second half.

The pace has dipped a little now that Scotland are in front. The home side are still well on top though.
Maybe it's time for fresh legs as Steve Clarke seeks a third goal to put this to bed.

Scotland piling on the pressure now as the keeper flaps at a Greg Taylor cross to concede a corner. Scott McKenna looks to have a free jump at the corner but gets it all wrong. The ball falls for Callum McGregor and his shot is blocked by a stretching defender inside a busy penalty box.
Scotland showing second-half 'intent'published at 21:05 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2019

Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on SportsoundQuote MessageScotland had to come out second half and show that intent straight away. They should've been doing this from the start but they are doing the basics now and closing down players with intent as well
CLOSE!published at 58 mins

Much better from Scotland now as Liam Palmer cuts in from the right to find Steven Naismith at the near post. The experienced striker gets a first-time shot away but a defender gets a toe in to deflect it wide.

BBC Sport Scotland at HampdenWell that’s a bit more like it isn’t it? And the chances since then have lifted the fans to the extent we have something approaching an atmosphere here.
