    That'll do us for tonight.

    Remember, you can relive tonight's play-off clinching win on BBC One Scotland at 11:25 GMT. We hoped it was worth re-watching - and it is!

    If you need a recap of how seeding works for the World Cup play-offs, this should do the trick.

    Don't think for one minute that Monday's game with Denmark is a dead-rubber.

    GOAL! Scotland U21s 2-1 Kazakhstanpublished at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 12 November 2021

    Disappointment for Scotland, as a mix-up between goalkeeper Archie Mair and defender Stephen Welsh allows Maxim Samorodov to pull a goal back for Kazakhstan.

    Mair should have just gathered a hopeful ball.

    Now we can look forward to the play-offs. They will be exciting, they will be nervy, they will be tense. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Lewis Fiorini is flying for the youngsters tonight. He's just lofted a peach of a pass over the top for Glenn Middleton to thump home their second goal at Tannadice.

    Scot Gemmill's side are heading for a first win of their Euros qualifying campaign.

    FT: Moldova 0-2 Scotland

    Callum McGregor is now fully focussed on Monday's clash with Denmark.

    "We know we need big performances and now we look forward to Monday," he adds. "We need to be at our best to make sure we try to get a result.

    On his ex-Celtic team-mate Craig Gordon, he added: "He's like Peter Pan, isn’t he? He never gets old!

    "I know Craig's quality, I've played with him for many, many years and he had another huge moment tonight. He just seems to be getting better so that gives us huge confidence."

    Scotland midfielder Calum McGregor on Nathan Patterson's impressive display: "He's been first class, you can tell he’s a real talent. He showed his quality and athleticism in abundance tonight.

    "He just has to keep his head down and work hard and our experienced boys will keep him on the right track. He’s made a great start to his international career.

    Scotland midfielder Calum McGregor says he is "proud" to be part of this squad.

    "When the group was drawn our aim was to qualify" he says. "We knew it would be difficult, we knew we had to produce top performances which we’ve done towards to end of the group.

    "One thing we do know is that this group of players can handle pressure. We knew we were one win from the play-offs and that’s what we went and got.

    "It’s great for us to have a couple of different systems we can flip to. It worked well for us tonight."

    I've just had to delete Israel and Austria goal graphics from my drafts.

    We were planning on giving you updates from that game if the unthinkable happened and Scotland didn't win.

    Aye, that feels good.
