    Don't know about you lot but I'm still thinking about that Kieran Tierney tackle.

    Craig Gordon came up with a few special moments tonight. The team selection was spot on. What a result, what a night and into the play-offs we go.

    JOB DONE.

    Apart from that late penalty save from Craig Gordon, that was all a bit comfortable.

    Nathan Patterson's first-half strike was followed up by Che Adams' close-range finish after the break.

    Say it again, Scotland are in the World Cup play-offs.

    Jacob Brown gives the ball away to Iosipoi, who drives forward and forces Craig Gordon down to his left.

    Straightforward save, but the Scotland keeper has been a colossus again this evening.

    Three minutes of added time.

    Maybe we can start chilling out?

    Another change from the Scotland bench as David Turnbull replaces John McGinn.

    Fourth cap for the Celtic midfielder.

    Two minutes of the 90 remaining.

    You add in the five players that are missing tonight and we have a really strong squad all over the pitch now. There's great depth there.

    Can Jacob Brown add an international goal to his impressive early season club form?

    What a save! He's got a really strong arm to it. Kieran Tierney's desire to clear the rebound is absolutely brilliant, top-class defending.

    Double change as Billy Gilmour is off for his Norwich team-mate Kenny McLean.

    The other switch sees Che Adams come off for Jacob Brown.

    A Scotland debut for the Stoke City forward.

    Wow. Wow. Wow.

    Rata goes to his left. It isn't right in the corner but Craig Gordon is the man again. He parries it, but it's back into the path of Rata.

    But Kieran Tierney is there to deny him with a goal-saving challenge. It's an unbelievable interception.

    Yep.

    VAR check for a penalty shout on Nathan Patterson.

    The Rangers defender handballs it in the box when trying to clear a cross. I think the referee will give this.

  19. Postpublished at 18:36 Greenwich Mean Time 12 November 2021

    Kieran Tierney pops up on the right wing.

    Why he's there I don't know. But he turns into peak Luis Figo and skins two Moldova defenders before having a cross blocked.

    Kevin Nisbet hasn't been quite as prolific this season. He'll be desperate to get a goal tonight, it would do him a world of good.
