    Austria have raised the tempo with the substitutions. Great first touch by Schopf to set up for himself and Gordon has no chance. Austria deserve it, they've created enough chances to at least be level.

    It's been coming. By the law of averages Austria could have scored four tonight. Hanley has to do better - he gets himself in front of Gregoritsch, who takes the header well.

    We shouldn't fool ourselves. There have been times we haven't been organised and disciplined at the back. The Austrians have had a number of opportunities and that will be a concern for Steve Clarke.

    A deflected shot from Alessandro Schopf zips over the top.

    From the corner, the ball is nodded towards Marco Arnautovic at the back post but Craig Gordon is first to it, smothering the ball safely.

    More good work for Craig Gordon as he leaves his line to claw away a cross and Scott McTominay keeps a cool head inside the penalty area to complete the clearance.

    Grant Hanley fires a fizzing pass-back at Craig Gordon and the Scotland keeper does well to knock the ball out of harm's way.

    McGinn makes that positive run forward and the timing was perfect. The finish was wonderful as well, the way he drills it into the net with such accuracy. A fabulous place to be, 2-0 up in Austria. Quite incredible.

    John McGinn

    Scotland have barely been out of their half since the restart but they spring forward with real menace to double their lead in style.

    Much better from Andy Robertson this time as he wins a crucial header in between two opponents to clear a looping cross.
