    Scotland are creaking a bit here as deep cross from the left misses everyone in the box and skips just wide of the back post.

    What's happening to Scotland here? We're all over the place. It's been a while since I've said that in these spell of games. Vydra should do better again.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 51 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Czech Republic

    Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes is booked for barging over Vladimir Coufal and then leaving a stud or two in where it hurts.

    That means he misses next month's visit to Slovakia.

    Another good chance for Matej Vydra but the Burnley striker blazes well wide from near the angle of the six yard box. It almost goes out for a throw-in.

  5. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    We under way again at Hampden Park, with the strains of Runrig fading around the empty stands.

    This game has been a great watch. Chances for both teams and lots of good quality too. McGinn and Dykes have been outstanding. While Scotland have been a little lucky, they are certainly matching the Czechs.

    This Czech Republic team are a good side and while we have been pushed back, we are defending well. Our front three are causing real problems on the break.

    The Sportsound panel are suggesting Scotland were a bit lucky not to concede a penalty when Andrew Considine gave Tomas Soucek a wee tug.

    No idea what they're talking about.

  11. Slovenia lead Israelpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 14 October 2020

    In the other Group B2 match, Marek Hamsik and Robert Mak have scored to give Slovakia a 2-0 half-time lead at home to Israel.

  12. HALF-TIME Scotland 1-0 Czech Republicpublished at 45+2 mins

    Scotland lead thanks to an early strike from Ryan Fraser.

    The Czechs have been lively and really should have levelled when Matej Vydra hammered a close-range effort wide, but Fraser has had two further sights at goal, firing just off target on both occasions.

    David Marshall is off his line quickly to smother at the feet of Jan Boril as Alex Kral slides a cute pass in behind the Scottish defence.

    The big goalie is looking for a third clean sheet in a row tonight.

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 42 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Czech Republic

    Czech full-back Jan Boril is booked for catching Ryan Fraser with a high boot.

    That's the first card of the evening, with the ref allowing an engrossing game to flow.

    A wave of yellow jerseys in the Scotland penalty area but Scott McTominay gets in a smart block and Stephen O'Donnell just about completes the clearance.

  16. Postpublished at 36 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Czech Republic

    The visitors are leaving big gaps at the back and Ryan Fraser is having a field day. His first cross from the left is blocked but he gets a second chance and this time his low delivery is snaffled up by the keeper, with Lyndon Dykes waiting to knock it in.

    Was there a sneaky trip on the Scotland striker there?

    Fraser is not that far away with his effort but what a challenge from Gallagher. He's then got the wherewithal to get his head up and pick a pass, that was oustanding from him.

  18. CLOSE!published at 34 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Czech Republic

    Ryan Fraser is scampering in behind the Czech defence to gather a John McGinn pass. He's 18 yards out and hammers a rising shot just over the top.

    That move all stemmed from a bone-shuddering tackle from Declan Gallagher, which broke up yet another attack from the visitors.

  19. Postpublished at 30 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Czech Republic

    Matej Vydra spins away from Declan Gallagher inside the penalty area but his shot on the turn hammers into a combination of a team-mate and Scott McTominay and rolls behind for a corner.

    Bodies falling all over the place in the box as the ball is delivered, but the ref is not interested.

  20. CLOSE!published at 27 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Czech Republic

    The Czechs are thin on numbers at the back as John McGinn feeds a pass to Ryan Fraser. The little forward has time to take a touch and smashes a shot a foot or so wide from near the edge of the penalty area.
