    We haven't seen too much from Che Adams, he'll be a little disappointed he's not had more opportunities.

    Steve Clarke has got a very good performance from these players. Maybe the chances Poland have created will cause him a little concern. But seven wins in a row would be a magnificent record.

    Another Poland change as Adam Buksa enters the fray, taking over from Jan Bednarek.

    A forward for a defender.

    Scotland 1-0 Poland

    It's lovely, absolutely brilliant to watch. The John McGinn delivery is inch-perfect, the worst area to defend - almost impossible. The header from Kieran Tierney, he just does enough to cushion it, glancing it into the net.

    The breakthrough!

    John McGinn flights a free-kick in from the right and in comes Kieran Tierney to steer a header home from six yards.

    A first international goal for the Arsenal defender.

    Steve Clarke leads the applause for Nathan Patterson. The Scotland boss raises his hands in appreciation of the Everton man as he's substituted off. Two pats on the back and he's off to the bench.

    What a performance from the young man tonight.

    Aaron Hickey has had a meteoric rise - debut at 16, scored in a derby against Hibs, started a cup final. He's got the temperament to deal with this and his career is going to go from strength to strength.

    Aaron Hickey is on for his Scotland debut, along with Stephen O'Donnell, as Steve Clarke changes up his wing-backs.

    Billy Gilmour anticipates the touch, he is so strong with the left foot. The shot almost takes him off his feet! It's just sensing danger, and that's what you can see in Steve Clarke's side - every single player is desperate to keep a clean sheet. There is always someone covering.

    Not so good from Scott McTominay this time as he surrenders possession in the centre circle and two Poland forwards break away.

    Krzysztof Piątek cuts inside Grant Hanley and fires a shot beyond Craig Gordon but Billy Gilmour rescues McTominay with an outstanding goal-line clearance!

  18. Postpublished at 63 mins

    Scotland 0-0 Poland

    Matty Cash makes a good, surging run forward for Poland and Scott McTominay needs to look lively to get his toe to the ball before an onrushing forward can reach the low cross.

    Grzegorz Krychowiak is replaced by Sebastian Szymanski.

    When will Scotland boss Steve Clarke make his first change?

    If there's a touch, he's got every right to go down because it's knocked him off his stride. If he does go down, the referee has got to make a decision. If there was a touch, why does he not go down?
