  1. Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Another big chance is wasted and this time it's Andy Robertson slashing a shot wide after bursting on to a lovely Ryan Christie pass.

  2. 'Sitter'

    Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    That's a sitter for Tierney. He's five yards out unchallenged

  3. Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Oh dear. That's a golden chance for Scotland!

    Billy Gilmour swings in a corner from the left and Kieran Tierney is all alone at the back post. He doesn't even have to jump.

    He mis-times the header though and the ball skips up off the turf allowing the keeper to push it away.

  4. Israel double their lead

    Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Israel are now 2-0 up on Austria, with Munas Dabbur scoring the second.

  5. 'Nisbet looked surprised'

    Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    That's a big chance. You're expecting Nisbet to do much better there. He looked surprised he had that much room

  6. Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Billy Gilmour steers a pass through to Lyndon Dykes, who threads it to the feet of Kevin Nisbet at the edge of the box but the striker wants too much time and as defender is quickly in with a challenge.

  7. 'Clarke will be disappointed with reaction'

    Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    Clarke will be happy Scotland have their noses in front, but he will be disappointed with the reaction after the goal. Moldova are playing better now

  8. Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Moldova win a free kick on the left near the Scotland penalty area and it's deflected wide for a corner. Jack Hendry is there to head clear.

  9. Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Andy Robertson gallops forward on the left and drills a low cross in the direction of Lyndon Dykes. A defender is red stretches out a leg to deny the striker the chance of a quick second goal.

  10. 'Patterson excellent in build-up'

    Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    Patterson was excellent there. He's stole the ball and driven forward. Nisbet is clever playing it back to him and like all good strikers Dykes is there to follow up

    GOAL Scotland 1-0 Moldova

    Lyndon Dykes

    Nathan Patterson breaks from an interception near halfway and plays a nice give-and-go with Kevin Nisbet on the edge of the Moldova penalty box. The teenager's first-time shot is saved but there is Lyndon Dykes following up at the back post for an easy tap-in.

  12. Israel take the lead

    Scotland 0-0 Moldova

    Israel are the first team to score in Group F this evening, with Manor Solomon on target against Austria in Haifa.

  13. 'Patterson started nervously'

    Scotland 0-0 Moldova

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    Patterson has started very nervously. His passing hasn't been accurate enough. It's a big occasion for him, I wonder if he's feeling a bit of nerves

  14. Scotland 0-0 Moldova

    After a fiery start from Scotland, a few mistakes are creeping in. A slack pass from Nathan Patterson is intercepted by a Moldova forward, who speeds into home territory then gives the fans a good laugh by slipping and falling on his backside.

  15. 'McGinn impressing early'

    Scotland 0-0 Moldova

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    The intent is really there so far. McGinn has already had two fantastic bits of work

  16. Scotland 0-0 Moldova

    Hampden is busy and the stadium is getting busier, with reports of large queues still outside the ground.

  17. Scotland 0-0 Moldova

    And now Andy Robertson is bursting into the penalty area from the other flank but a defender gets a toe in just in time to thwart the Scotland captain.

  18. Scotland 0-0 Moldova

    John McGinn gets the crowd on their feet with a good surging run from deep. He lays it off to Nathan Patterson, who cuts inside to have a lash at goal with his left foot. The shot flies high and wide.

  19. KICK-OFF

    Scotland 0-0 Moldova

    A peep of the whistle from Belgian referee Lawrence Visser and away we go.

    Scotland in all dark blue, Moldova in all red.

  20. Surely not?
