    Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Kieran Tierney is at left-back now and here he comes steaming into the Moldova penalty area to drill a tempting pass into the danger zone. No one in dark blue can get a touch.

    You want the second goal and you'd take it gladly, but if this finishes 1-0 and Denmark draw and Austria get beat, that wouldn't be a bad night's work

    I love watching Billy Gilmour. All the angles he pulls off, demanding the ball off the centre-backs. And you see him getting annoyed if they don't give him it

    It looks like Steve Clarke is thinking about Tuesday's game now as he withdraws Billy Gilmour and captain Andy Robertson.

    Kenny McLean and Liam Cooper are on.

    That has done nothing for my growing nerves... Another goal please.

    It's brilliant play. You've got to credit Nesbit for the pass, but Gilmour has got to score!

  15. CLOSE!published at 61 mins

    Scotland 1-0 Israel

    Kevin Nisbet was looking a bit dejected after two loose passes in quick succession.

    But the Hibs striker lifts his head again and hammers in a shot that the keeper saves before dinking a wonderful pass into the path of Billy Gilmour, who slides a close-range shot inches wide.

    Another brilliant chance wasted!

    Nisbet had that nice little pass for Patterson in the lead up to goal, but apart from that he hasn't really taken part in the match

    Let's get this one out of the way first, Tom.

    The Hampden crowd burst into Flower of Scotland, urging their team on to find another goal or two.

    If Austria lose tonight, there is a real chance for Scotland to go over there on Tuesday and hurt them. When you've got the chance, you've got to be ruthless

    McGinn's taken that too early. He could've taken another touch and he would've had his pick of either side

    Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    John McGinn is offered a gift as a terrible Moldova pass out of defence comes his way but his weak shot is blocked.

    Scotland then threaten for a corner as Grant Hanley muscles his way through a ruck of bodies only to nod over the top.
