BBC Scotland at Hampden ParkThe referee and his assistant have got a ball now. A huge "oooohhh" of suspense builds as he gets ready to have a kick, with a huge cheer greeting the free-rolling sphere as it glides across the grass.
Fingers crossed...

Here comes the referee to have a look at the pitch...
He's got a pal with him and they're pacing around. No ball though, for the classic bounce test.

St Mirren Park is the back up stadium, but that doesn't necessarily mean the game switches to Paisley. It could be a return to Hampden tomorrow.
Not sure what time or how they would sort out any supporters getting in.
Anyhoo, the rain is off, the frantic sweeping continues and the fans are not budging...

So, the 20 minutes is up. The officials are going to give it another 15...
The referee will now check the pitch at 20:35. If he's happy, there will be a 10-minute warm-up period and the game will restart with six minutes played and Scotland 1-0 up.
If it's still not right, it seems we'll play at St Mirren Park in Paisley tomorrow. Wild.
Not sure why they can't just go again at Hampden.

BBC Scotland at Hampden ParkBig cheers from the Hampden crowd for the ball boys who have come out with brushes bigger than them to help sweep the rain off the pitch.
Gotta laugh.

Ex-Scotland international on BBC Radio ScotlandThis could be a game that costs you a position, so without a doubt, if it were the other way about and Scotland were 1-0 down just now we'd absolutely be saying 'just call this game.'
Because you're not going to be able to play your best football and it's potentially going to cost you tournament football, it's absolutely not worth the risk, and that's the way Georgia will be thinking.

Here's what the Uefa regulations say...
"If a match cannot start or cannot be played in full, the full or remaining match time is, as a rule, played on the next day, without prejudice to any possible disciplinary measures. For that purpose, the host associations must conclude all the necessary agreements to ensure that the required facilities are available and can be operated.
"If a match cannot be rescheduled the next day, the Uefa administration fixes a new date, during or as close as possible to the international match calendar window concerned. The rescheduling may entail exceptions to the regular match scheduling pattern."

BBC Sport Scotland at HampdenGeorgia were calling for this game to be stopped before Callum McGregor's strike due to the awful conditions. They'll ramp that up now for sure!
In fairness, they do have an argument. It has looked very debatable whether football can be played on this surface and it may get worse.
This isn't looking good...

We're told this will be a 20 minute pause.
That could all change if it starts tipping down again.

BBC Scotland at Hampden ParkDue to the horrendous weather conditions, a lot of fans are just filtering in as we speak.
Not only have they missed a goal, they might have missed the whole game!
