'We came up well short' - Scotland's Euros over after Croatia defeat

1. Victory moves Croatia up to second in group on goals scored & into last-16
2. Vlasic silences Hampden, then McGregor skids in leveller just before break
3. But Modric flashes in stunning second & Perisic heads in third from corner

'Scotland need more of the ball'

Graeme Souness

Former Scotland international on ITV

You can see once Croatia get in front they grow in stature, they grow in confidence, they can sense blood. We can't afford to go behind again. We have to get more of the ball.

KICK-OFF

Here we go again... Strap yourselves in for the next 45 minutes.

And the beers go flying...

A timely goal keeps Scotland hopes alive

Callum McGregor is the first Scottish player to score in a Euros since June 18, 1996, when Ally McCoist netted against Switzerland. In between, Scotland had 46 shots without finding the net

'Midfield balance' an issue for Scotland

Billy Dodds

Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

We had problems in midfield again. The balance we had against England when one of the strikers dropped back to pick up a midfielder was good. The strikers aren't dropping in on Brozovic and giving him too much space.

McGregor on a mission

As well as that rousing goal, Callum McGregor has hit his man with every single pass so far. 16/16. Composure.

'Brilliant strike' from McGregor

Willie Miller

Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

It's just a brilliant strike from McGregor. And we did need that because we were not in this game. It just goes up the other end of the park. We keep it moving down the right side, its not cleared properly as it comes back to the box from the left and falls to McGregor.

HALF-TIME Croatia 1-1 Scotland

Scotland are right back in it after that fabulous goal from Callum McGregor.

He picked a good time to get his first international goal, didn't he?

It was starting to look a little ominous, with Croatia dominating possession and growing in confidence after that opener from Nikola Vlasic.

Scotland celebrate after a great strike from Callum McGregor

England ahead at the break

Alasdair Lamont

BBC Sport Scotland at Wembley

I'm trying to keep my shape in the Wembley press box but unlike many of the crowd here, I rather enjoyed that one from Callum McGregor. As for this game, the Czechs still in it but England have had chances to extend their lead.

'The game is lit up for us now'

Neil McCann

Former Scotland winger on BBC Sportsound

When we get into the final third and ask questions of Croatia they don't like it. Andy Robertson gets the ball in, but when it comes to McGregor he still has so much to do. He takes a good touch and you're just thinking, 'hit the target son', and didn't he just - he smashed it into the bottom corner. The game's lit up for us now.

We're into two minutes of stoppage time before half-time.

It's bedlam inside the stadium...

As things stand...

Right now, all Scotland's equaliser will do is eliminate Croatia.

But a Scottish win and they're into the knockout stages.

We are Scotland, can you hear us?

Scott Mullen

BBC Scotland at Hampden

Euro 2020, Scotland have arrived.

"No Scotland, no party!!" rasps its way around Hampden. Callum McGregor sprints to the corner flag, eyes staring, jaw wide opened, arm flailing. The emotion is incredible.

Scotland is life.

GOAL - Croatia 1-1 Scotland

What a hit!

Croatia fail to clear their lines after crosses from Stuart Armstrong and Andy Robertson and the ball falls to Callum McGregor near the edge of the box.

Lovely technique from the Celtic midfielder as he arrows a low shot into the corner of the net.

Game on!

BBC Sport

Ivan Perisic cuts in from the left and goes by Stephen O'Donnell with ease before blazing a shot high and wide.

Scotland are struggling to get a touch here as Croatia boss the ball.

YELLOW CARD (McKenna)

Scott McKenna is booked before he's touched the ball as he clatters into Bruno Petkovic.

McKenna on for Hanley

Grant Hanley cannot continue and Nottingham Forest central defender Scott McKenna is on in his place.

Concern for Scotland defender Grant Hanley as he drops to the turf, with what looks like a knee problem.
