    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.

    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

    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.

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

    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.

  9. HALF-TIME Croatia 1-1 Scotlandpublished at 45+2 mins

    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.

    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.

    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...

  13. As things stand...published at 20:46 British Summer Time 22 June 2021

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

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

    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 Scotlandpublished at 42 mins

    Callum McGregor

    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!
