Nick McPheat

  1. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Nice one-two between Ryan Fraser and Christie, but the former's touch is too heavy and runs into the arms of the goalkeeper.

    10 minutes until half-time and Scotland are yet to get going.

  2. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Scotland have a pop of their own from range as Scott McTominay lets fly from a free-kick.

    But it's high over the Faroes crossbar.

  3. Deja vu for Scotland

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    This is like a film we've seen before, isn't it? We look like we're heading for another disappointing opening 45 minutes. The Faroes deserve a lot of credit, they've created opportunities well.

  4. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Really, really neat build-up from the hosts again but Hendriksson's shot from around 25 yards is sliced high and wide.

    The home side have been impressive.

  5. Scotland defence 'concerning'

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Neil McCann
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Sportsound

    The most concerning thing is how easy it is for the Faroes to get in behind the Scotland back three.

  6. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Scotland need to relax and maintain a bit of a possession.

    This is far too frantic. Cool heads required.

  7. 'Scotland must smell danger'

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    Scotland should be smelling the danger there. We should be 1-0 down. It's down to Gordon that we're not.

  8. 'Incredible save'

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Neil McCann
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Sportsound

    How many times has Gordon done that for club and country? It's an incredible save.

    Craig Gordon made the stop from point-blank rangeSNS

    Craig Gordon made the stop from point-blank range

  9. CLOSE!

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Scotland need to wake up.

    Hendriksson curls in a fantastic cross and Nattestad is on the end of it, but the defender's diving header isn't far off target.

  10. GREAT SAVE!

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Dearie me, Scotland.

    Another long ball over the top isn't dealt with as the Faroes get down the right.

    The ball is pulled across to Jonsson who has the goal at his mercy, but Craig Gordon pulls off a stunning stop.

  11. GREAT SAVE!

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    First real sight of goal for the Scots as the visitors break.

    The ball is helped into Scott McTominay who decides to shoot from a tight angle, but Gestsson turns it behind with his feet.

    The resulting corner comes to nothing.

  12. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    For a minute it looks like Andy Robertson is in behind as John McGinn slips a ball down the left.

    But home keeper Gestsson is out to it first as the linesman ends up raising his flag. Unlucky, tight one.

  13. 'Scotland don't need to force it'

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    The Faroe Islands' shape, sitting with five at the back, is making it difficult for Scotland. That's why it is key that Scotland don't get lulled into trying to force it with speculative passes.

  14. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    John McGinn is the latest to burst from midfield but his clipped ball over the top is dealt with.

    The Faroes are not shy in throwing the ball into the box either, Craig Gordon and his backline need to stay alert.

  15. 'Tempo must be consistent'

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    Scotland have to be patient but make sure the tempo keeps up. They have to make sure their passing is slick and done with a purpose all the time.

  16. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Fantastic from Billy Gilmour as he dances his way through midfield and attempts to slip in Scott McTominay, but the Manchester United man is thwarted.

    Gilmour has started well again.

  17. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    After a frantic few minutes, the Scots have their foot on the ball.

    A bit of a breather isn't the worst thing at the moment.

  18. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Is an early Scotland goal too much to ask for?

    Asking for the sake of a few heart rates up and down the country...

  19. 'Confident start is key'

    Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    It's important we settle quickly. You want to get the opposition tested early doors and make sure it's a good start.

  20. Faroe Islands 0-0 Scotland

    Scott McTominay has made quite a shaky start as the home side gain encouragement.

    This isn't going to be easy tonight.
