The Czechs lead at the interval over in Haifa and we've had a look at the goal, which is a real moment to forget for Hibernian goalkeeper Ofir 'Rocky' Marciano.

He lets a simple pass back roll under his foot and he can't get back to stop the ball before it crosses the goal line.

Nothing much to get excited about at Hampden.

An even contest, with very little goalmouth action.

Much better from Scotland now as John McGinn's cross has Lyndon Dykes straining his neck muscles in anticipation but he almost jumps too high for the header and uses a hand instead, which the officials don't spot.

That's a bit daft given he's on a booking.

The corner almost falls for Declan Gallagher but the Motherwell defender is stretching and can't get much on the ball as it drifts wide.

Here's a chance for Lyndon Dykes as a John McGinn pass gets him running into the penalty area but he's a bit slow to pull the trigger and a defender gets across to make a sliding block.

Lyndon Dykes hasn't really been involved and perhaps the big striker is feeling a bit frustrated as he chases down Ivan Schranz and sends him tumbling with a tug.

Now Ryan Fraser is on the left and does well to dink a cross into the penalty area. It's half cleared and falls to Stephen O'Donnell near the 18 yard line but his awkward volley goes wide.

Ryan Fraser pops up on the right edge of the Slovak penalty area but there's no sign of any team-mates in support and the ball is worked back to the halfway line.

It's all a bit slow and laboured.

The visitors are seeing more of the ball now as Scotland sit deep in their own half.

One of the weird things about being at a hushed, soulless Hampden is that I’ve now got to the stage where it’s become familiar. I’m almost finding it hard to picture what it would look and sound like if it was heaving. That’s a bit sad. The new abnormal. Scotland are doing fine, meanwhile. They’re an early work in progress as an attacking team, but they’re further down the road in terms of making themselves tough to play against.

Andy Robertson spots Ryan Fraser off on a run and lofts a long ball over the top of the Slovak defence, but goalkeeper Dusan Kuciak comes haring out of his box to head clear.

The visitors are forced into an early change as Matus Bero comes off worst after clattering into Kenny McLean.

Marek Hamsik is then booked for a late challenge and Ondrej Duda finally makes it on to replace the stricken Bero.

An own goal from Joel Abu Hanna has given Czech Republic the lead away to Israel in tonight's other Group B2 game.

Now Slovakia have a corner as Declan Gallagher nods a Marek Hamik free kick behind. Hamsik curls in another good delivery and it's flicked on at the near post before Lukas Haraslin loops a header high and wide.

A third corner kick for Scotland. Andy Robertson pings it in and this time the keeper makes a mess of it and a defender in white has to hack it away inside the six yard box. The ref gives a foul for an infringement on goalkeeper Dusan Kuciak, which is a nonsense.

Scotland earn the evening's first corner, which is quickly followed by a second, which is punched away by the keeper.
