  1. 'Scotland system exposed'

    Scotland 0-1 Ukraine

    Leanne Crichton
    Ex-Scotland international on BBC Sportsound

    Steve Clarke has got a real problem. It's a five v three in Scotland's favour, and one ball over the top has taken out Scotland's entire backline. Nobody is taking responsibility, nobody is picking up, nobody is competing to win the first ball and Craig Gordon is left absolutely exposed again. The system and personnel don't match up right now.

  2. Scotland 0-1 Ukraine

    Hampden falls silent, apart from the pocket to my left which explodes into a flurry of yellow, blue, and wild celebration. The rest of the stadium sits in stunned silence waiting for a VAR check that doesn't arrive...

  3. 'Unbelievable finish'

    Scotland 0-1 Ukraine

    Alan Hutton
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It's the touch and the awareness. He has a second to think about it. What an unbelievable finish.

    GOAL Scotland 0-1 Ukraine

    Andriy Yarmolenko

    The Scotland defence is caught out by a simple ball over the top. Andriy Yarmolenko, not exactly a speed merchant, gets in behind, takes a lovely first touch, then dinks a sweet lob over the advancing Craig Gordon.

  5. 'All too easy'

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Alan Hutton
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The worrying thing for Scotland is it looks a bit easy for Ukraine...

  6. Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Ukraine continue to look the sharper, more accomplished side as Scott McTominay is forced to concede a corner. Che Adams is back to nod clear from the set-piece.

  7. Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Lyndon Dykes does well to lead a counter-attack, selling a dummy to a couple of players along the way. His pass sets Che Adams scampering away but the Southampton forward doesn't get his head up in time to pick out Andy Robertson bombing forward and his final pass is easily intercepted.

  8. 'Scotland need a spark'

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    McGinn's got to take it really quickly. It's got to be spectacular if it ends up in the back of the net. Scotland needed that, though. They need something to spark them into life because they've had a lesson so far. It's been all about Ukraine.

  9. Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Scotland attack down the left again and Callum McGregor picks out John McGinn with a sharp cut-back from the byeline, but the midfielder can only blaze an awkward shot high over.

  10. 'Wrong decision from Robertson'

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Alan Hutton
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    For once I think he's made the wrong decision. Robertson has the ability to pick someone out there.

  11. Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Andy Robertson shows good strength and determination to cut in from the left but his pot-shot at goal is blocked in a busy penalty area when a cut-back looked the better option.

  12. 'Defensive worries for Scotland'

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    I'm comfortable knowing Craig Gordon is in goals. That's two world class saves already. I'm worried about the backline of Scotland, going three-for-three against Ukraine at times. That's risky at this early point of the match. One error by a centre-back and there will be a shot at goal.

  13. Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    We already know who the man of match is going to be...

  14. Gordon to the rescue again

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Grant Hanley is up for a corner and heads over. But he's soon back inside his own penalty area looking rather cumbersome, with Craig Gordon sharply off his line to make a smothering save to bail out the defender.

  15. Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Scott Mullen
    BBC Scotland at Hampden Park

    Steve Clarke looks the picture of serene calm at the edge of his technical area. I think he speaks for himself alone.

    Jeezo.

  16. 'An unbelievable save'

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    It's point blank, it happened so quickly. Craig Gordon was out so quick to close the angle down. He gets enough of his body on it to take the pace out of it. It's an unbelievable save.

  17. 'Gordon saves Scotland again'

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    He's onside. It's a great save. That man Gordon saves Scotland again.

  18. GREAT SAVE!

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Now this is a top, top save from Craig Gordon as he makes an incredible close range block to deny Yarmolenko, then has the presence of mind to spring up and prevent the ball crossing the line.

    Ukraine are slicing Scotland open with some slick one-touch passing, although it was a ricochet off Callum McGregor that set up the former West Ham man.

  19. 'Frantic game suits Scotland'

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    Pat Nevin
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    This frantic nature suits Scotland. If you want to test how match-fit Ukraine are, you want a frantic game.

  20. YELLOW CARD

    Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

    In the build up to that Scotland attack, Ukraine picked up their second booking of the evening, with Malinovskyi penalised for a robust challenge on Lyndon Dykes.
