  1. 'He's hit it too cleanly'published at 21:53 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 4-1 Scotland

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    He catches it so sweetly, clean as a whistle.

    If he mishits it, it probably goes in...

  2. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:53 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 4-1 Scotland

    Ooft! So close to number five for the hosts as Marcus Thuram races clear and cracks a rising shot against the crossbar.

  3. England qualify for Euro 2024published at 21:52 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    England beat Italy 3-1 at Wembley to clinch their place in Germany next summer.

    What kept you?

  4. 'Three tough games in a row'published at 21:50 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 4-1 Scotland

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    It's been three tough games in a row, and we have to accept we are not at that level. This is one of the best teams in the world.

    But, we have to learn from these three games and see where we can improve.

    We limited Spain last week. We defended well, but this is a better team that Spain, no doubt about it. It's the pace they move the ball at, similar to England.

  5. More changespublished at 21:49 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 4-1 Scotland

    Youssouf Fofana and Boubacar Kamara are on for France.

    Ryan Christie and Stuart Armstrong are on for Scotland. Kenny McLean and Billy Gilmour are off for a rest.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:47 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 4-1 Scotland

    A lovely spin neat the edge of the box from Jacob Brown as he gathers a pass from Nathan Patterson and Mike Maignan is at full-stretch to push the shot round the post.

  7. 'Too hot to handle'published at 21:44 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 4-1 Scotland

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    When they want to step it up, they can... And we can't handle it.

    It's been a fairly boring second half, but easily, France can flick a switch and take it up a notch.

  8. goal

    GOAL France 4-1 Scotlandpublished at 21:41 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    Kingsley Coman

    The French subs make a difference.

    Marcus Thuram speeds in from the left and crosses for Antoine Griezmann to somehow steer a volley against the crossbar from a couple of yards out. The ball bounces back to Kingsley Coman, who thunders it home first time.

    Great technique from the Bayern Munich winger.

  9. A double, double changepublished at 21:37 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembele make way for Marcus Thuram and Kingsley Coman.

    Scotland also make a couple of substitutions, with John Souttar and Jacob Brown taking over from Liam Cooper and Che Adams.

  10. Postpublished at 21:35 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Scott McTominay pings it in low, but it's a bit of a scuffed effort and easily cleared away.

  11. Postpublished at 21:34 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Free-kick to Scotland on the left edge of the penalty area after Lewis Ferguson is impeded.

  12. 'Pretty pedestrian'published at 21:33 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Steven Thompson
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    There is a real lack of energy... It's pretty pedestrian stuff.

    There is no urgency or speed to either team.

  13. Postpublished at 21:33 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Here comes Kylian Mbappe scurrying forward. He tries to squeeze a shot past Jack Hendry at the edge of the penalty area but the Scotland defender stands tall.

  14. Postpublished at 21:32 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    The locals get excited for the first time since the interval as Antoine Griezmann loops up a pass for Kylian Mbappe, but the superstar makes a mess of his overhead kick attempt.

  15. Postpublished at 21:28 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Che Adams makes an enterprising run to find some daylight in the French half but he's sorely lacking in support. The Southampton forward eventually dinks a ball into the box for Greg Taylor to chase but the Celtic full-back is beaten to it by Theo Hernandez.

  16. Postpublished at 21:25 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    The crowd are pretty quiet with France yet to reach the tempo they ended the first half on.

  17. Postpublished at 21:22 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Ibrahima Konate takes a clumsy touch near his own penalty box and Lewis Ferguson is all over him, forcing the ball through to Che Adams for a run at goal, but the referee doesn't like the challenge from Ferguson. A bit harsh, that.

  18. KICK-OFFpublished at 21:17 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    France 3-1 Scotland

    Here we go for the second half.

  19. Clark for Kellypublished at 21:17 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    HT: France 3-1 Scotland

    Zander Clark is coming on for his first Scotland cap, taking over from Liam Kelly between the sticks.

    A tough first half for the Motherwell man. Will the Hearts custodian be under as much pressure?

  20. Postpublished at 21:14 British Summer Time 17 October 2023

    HT: France 3-1 Scotland

    Our TV pals at Viaplay are analysing the penalty award again and it does look like Liam Cooper is being pulled as much as he is pulling.

    Maybe not quite as clear cut as it looked initially.
