Quote MessageHe's got no right to protect that ball there, it's great strength from McGinn. Tell you what, Scotland have played so well in the last 20 minutes.
John McGinn
At last!
A Kieran Tierney pass deflects to McGinn, who uses his ample backside to wondrous effect to roll a defender before firing into the bottom corner.
Captain marvel. Hampden erupts.

Quote MessageArmstrong has to get that on target. He needs to just power through but I think he shuts his eyes at the last minute.
Scotland 0-0 Ukraine
This is becoming a worrying trend. Another Stuart Armstrong opportunity goes begging.
This time John McGinn delivers, Armstrong gets his head to it, but the ball skews wide.

The noise levels have gone up a gear or three in here.
Scotland are banging on the door and the tartan army can sense a goal coming.

Quote MessageScotland are really turning the screw. We've said that they needed to start testing the goalkeeper and now that's happening. I can't fault Adams for either of those efforts. He's so unlucky.

Quote MessageTwo amazing chances for Adams. He does what you're meant to do with that second one and it's a great save, but a lucky save too.
Scotland 0-0 Ukraine
Aaarrrghgh! So unlucky for Scotland!
Che Adams heads a John McGinn cross off the bar, then the pair combine again and keeper Trubin does terrifically to smother the striker's second effort on the line.
The ball will just not go in.

Former Scotland forward on BBC Radio 5 Live
Quote MessageThat was Scotland's golden opportunity. It's great play by McTominay and I'm just waiting for Armstrong to smash it low across goal. But he's ballooned it over the bar. He's someone you'd have wanted that chance to fall to as well.
Scotland 0-0 Ukraine
Leanne Crichton
Ex-Scotland international on BBC Sportsound
Quote MessageThat's the chance of the game so far, certainly. It's a lovely lay-off and great footwork from McTominay. It just required a bit of compsure from Armstrong who got too much on it.
Scotland 0-0 Ukraine
Two big chances, both for Stuart Armstrong.
First, the midfielder meets Kieran Tierney's cutback to fire straight at Trubin.
The next should be nestling in the net as Armstrong latches to to a delicious Scott McTominay backheel then lashes over just eight yards out.
Will Scotland regret these misses?

Quote MessageHendry got back in there after holding his line for as long as he could. He was brave and it paid off
Scotland 0-0 Ukraine
Scotland haven't started the second half at full pelt.
It's Ukraine in the ascendancy and Mudryk - yep, him again - bolts forward down the middle before slipping a pass through to Dovbyk.
Jack Hendry slides in with an impeccably timed challenge to avert the danger.
Scotland 0-0 Ukraine

Scotland will be the happier of the two teams. But they still haven't tested the keeper. They need to be a bit more direct, even if it's a shot from distance that gives Ukraine something different to think about.
Scotland 0-0 Ukraine
Scare for Scotland.
Craig Gordon rather needlessly rushes out of his penalty box and sends a sclaffed clearance straight to Mudryk.
It's still a fair distance and the youngster can't guide his effort into the unguarded net.
Scotland 0-0 Ukraine
Ukraine have made a change at the break, with Taras Stepanenko - who was on a booking - making way for fellow midfielder Serhiy Sydorchuk.
Scotland 0-0 Ukraine
Back under way. With Bondar's every touch booed by the home fans...

Scotland have won just one of their last seven games in all competitions when level at half time (D5 L1), with that victory coming against Faroe Islands in October last year.
Ukraine have lost just one of their last 20 matches in all competitions when level at half time (W11 D8 – vs Netherlands in June 2021), winning each of their last four such games.
Somewhat ominous for Steve Clarke's side ahead of the second half.
