Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageThis. Is. Beautiful. John McGinn has found a pocket of space and he goes for the overhead kick, he find an angle for the shot and it's sensational.

John McGinn
Image source, BBC SportThis is turning into your favourite game of Fifa or PES! Once again, Scotland fashion an equaliser out of nothing as John McGinn makes it 2-2 with a wonderful reverse bicycle kick.
The Austrians appealed in vain for offside as the Scots wheeled away in celebration.
That was a circle, L2 and flick right stick number. Superb!
What a game!

Scotland 1-1 Austria
Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageYou can't blame the defence too much for that one. It's a really impressive header, there was so much to do. A real body blow for Scotland but what a header it was from Kalajdzic.
GOAL Scotland 1-2 Austriapublished at 80 mins
Sasa Kalajdzic
Image source, BBC SportThat's a killer blow. Austria retake the lead with a goal of stunning simplicity. Lainer swings in a sumptuous cross and Austria's very own Thanos rises to bullet a header home beyond the helpless grasp of David Marshall.

Scotland 1-1 Austria
It's eight years and three days since Grant Hanley's last goal for Scotland.
His first was in a 2-1 defeat at home to Wales in 2013.
How important will tonight's headed goal prove to be in the context of Scotland's 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign?

Lyndon Dykes has run his race; the QPR striker scuttles off behind the Austrian goal to be replaced by Callum McGregor.

Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageIt's getting pretty open now this game. They've got in behind a few times since we scored but we are creating good chances too. It's anyone's game.
Who fancies a winner?published at 74 mins
Scotland 1-1 Austria
This World Cup qualifier is WIDE OPEN. Stung by that equaliser, Austria come thundering forward as the rain drives down at Scotland's national stadium.
The Scots benefit form a free kick as the Austrians look on in wild-eyed disbelief following a peep of referee Carlos del Cerro Grande's whistle.
What a game!
'That could be huge'published at 21:15
Scotland 1-1 Austria
Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageGrant Hanley loses his marker excellently. It was a big, high, loopy ball and Hanley attacks it. That could be a huge goal in this group for Scotland.
GOAL Scotland 1-1 Austriapublished at 70 mins
Grant Hanley
Image source, BBC SportHang on a minute. Scotland aren't out of this. A long Stephen O'Donnell free-kick into the box lands perfectly onto the head of Grant Hanley, who guides his header into the bottom corner of the net.
Jubilation among Scotland's ranks amid the downpour.

A change for the visitors: Schaub replaces Grbic with a little over 20 minutes remaining at Hampden.
'Stonewall penalty'published at 21:09

Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on BBC SportsoundThat's a stonewall penalty for me. His arms are right around Christie as he goes for the ball. He gets dragged to the ground - how has that not been given?

Che Adams comes on to make his Scotland debut, replacing Southampton team-mate Stuart Armstrong.
Can Adams and Lyndon Dykes work some magic in front of goal?
Kalajdzic breaks deadlockpublished at 21:05
Scotland 0-1 Austria
Man mountain Sasa Kalajdzic has proved a thorn in Scotland's side at Hampden. He's scored one and had another goal perhaps harshly ruled out.

Scotland press for equaliserpublished at 60 mins
Scotland 0-1 Austria
Suddenly, this World Cup qualifier is crackling with intensity, controversy, bookings, disallowed goals and unsuccessful penalty appeals.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 58 mins
Scotland 0-1 Austria
It looks like Kalajdzic has doubled the visitors' lead but the referee rules it out for a foul on Kieran Tierney in the build-up.
Mmmmm. That's two massive decisions by Carlos del Cerro Grande. Did the whistler get either one right?
