    FT: Faroe Islands 0-1 Scotland

    The other results from the Group F...

    • Denmark 1-0 Austria
    • Israel 2-1 Moldova

    That means Denmark win the group and just one more win for Scotland secures second spot.

    Three points, troops, that's all. Don't know about you lot, but the only issue is I don't know if I can do this again.

    It hasn't been pretty, it hasn't been great football wise but this is a brilliant three points whatever way you look at it.

    You'd expect Scotland to do better here even though it is a difficult away fixture. At the end of the day though, it's three points. It's a really important victory.

  4. FULL-TIME Faroe Islands 0-1 Scotlandpublished at 21:41 British Summer Time 12 October 2021

    JOB DONE.

    Dearie me, that wasn't easy to watch, but we've done it.

    Lyndon Dykes is the match-winner again. It just seemed to hit him, but if you think anyone is remotely bothered you're simply at it.

    Up the road.

    The travelling Tartan Army start singing Flower of Scotland.

    They've been put through the wringer tonight. We all have.

    Scott McTominay wins a free-kick on the halfway line and the visitors keep possession.

    One minute to go.

    Two minutes to go.

    Is it embarrassing we are counting this down? Who cares. Nearly there.

    Andy Robertson wins a free-kick pretty much at the corner spot, that'll do.

    Who knew stoppage time against the Faroe Islands would be this excruciating?

    Fair play to the home side, they've been fantastic.

    It comes off Lyndon Dykes but with help from the defender. I don't think Dykes knows much about it but what a ball from Nathan Patterson and what a run from Dykes again to come across the front.

    It's incredible, isn't it? We find ways to win games but this is taking it to the extreme. You've got to credit Clarke for freshening up that right-hand side. Magnificent from Dykes.

    This has been a grim, grim watch, but three points are the most important thing.

    Seven minutes added on. My days, this isn't going to be fun.

    Oh dear...

    The officials are checking for a potential handball. It's so hard to tell. It looks like his chest, but I'm not 100% convinced.

    Dearie me, this is grim.

    YEEEESSSSS!

    Nathan Patterson whips in a fantastic cross and a Faroes defender takes a swipe at it, but it takes a nick off Dykes and nestles in the goal.

    It's a lovely first touch from Gilmour, he sets himself up and just absolutely zings that one. There is a bit of back spin and the goalkeeper is beaten all ends up, but unfortunately it just goes a couple inches past the post.

    Double change for Scotland as Nathan Patterson and Kevin Nisbet are on for Ryan Christie and Ryan Fraser.

    It's now or never for Steve Clarke's side.

  19. CLOSE!published at 21:23 British Summer Time 12 October 2021

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    That's so close. So, so close!

    Andy Robertson whips a ball in and it's cleared again to Billy Gilmour who feints and drills a left-footed shot towards goal.

    But it's just wide of bottom corner.

  20. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:21 British Summer Time 12 October 2021

    What a chance! He's got to score!

    A great ball in from Ryan Fraser and John McGinn is up to meet it from close range, but it's straight at Gestsson who parries it clear.
