    John McGinn

    Meatball takes. Meatball scores.

    It's not in the middle, it's not in the corner either. Who cares though, the keeper dives the wrong way and Scotland are level.

    John McGinn to take...

  4. PENALTY to Scotland!published at 19:55 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2023

    Scotland 0-1 Norway

    Scott McTominay's free-kick is blocked by the wall, then Callum McGregor's rebound is blocked by an arm from a sliding man in red.

    VAR will check it...

    John McGinn has come to life.

    Thoughts about a celebratory pizza crunch later on have finally been put to one side as he bursts to the bye-line and wins a free-kick right on the edge of the box.

    Right then, a Scotland corner.

    In it comes from Scott McTominay. It's a decent ball but it's headed away by Sander Berge.

    Scotland haven't got going at all here.

    They're thinking about their karaoke tunes for tonight.

    The deflection just takes it beyond the reach of Zander Clark.

    I think Nathan Patterson could have been a bit more aware of his surroundings.

    If he had got tighter to Donnum, it would be a different situation.

    It's far too easy for Norway to get that ball in.

    Greg Taylor has a two-on-one so he can't close the ball down, there's no real pressure.

    Aron Donnum

    Some finish.

    Scotland don't deal with a cross into the box and Aron Donnum takes one touch on the right before clipping a finish in off the left-hand post.

    Steve Clarke's men were in party mode there...

    Nathan Patterson looks to nip away up the right, but he's dragged down to the deck.

    Scotland get back under way quickly and John McGinn tries to slip in Jacob Brown.

    Pass is just a bit behind him though.

    This is what success looks and sounds like. It's simply magnificent inside Hampden.

    The noise and colour around this arena is quite something. What a treat this is.

    The players are out at a bouncing Hampden.

    Here come the anthems...

  16. That day in Oslo...published at 19:40 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2023

    Scotland v Norway (19:45)

    Remember that day in Oslo in June? Of course you do. Don't forget, Scotland were in the a bit of bother.

    They trailed to Erling Haaland's penalty - just a 53rd goal of the season for the Man City striker - and were struggling to fashion anything remotely threatening as time ticked away.

    A late lifeline? Thanks very much, don't mind if we do. Leo Ostigard's error was seized upon by Lyndon Dykes to level it up and surely maintain Scotland's unbeaten start.

    But why settle for one point when you can pinch all three? In the 89th minute, supersub Kenny McLean swept in Scotland's unlikely winner to snatch a scarcely-believable win and leave Norway utterly sickened.

  17. 'Great chance for Brown' - Clarkepublished at 19:37 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2023

    Scotland v Norway (19:45)

    Scotland head coach Steve Clarke tells Viaplay: "We're in a slightly strange position for a Scotland squad, there's a different atmosphere around the place.

    "It's different because you don't have that terrible knot in your stomach. It's just a little knot tonight. We still want to win, still playing a top European side.

    On what does he want from Jacob Brown: "It's easy. Goals. He's a striker. Jacob has been in a lot of squads but never had a start and tonight is a great chance for him to show the Scottish public what he can do.

    "We've got Lyndon Dykes as well, who always runs himself into the ground for this team. All the decisions are difficult. The squad is a great strength for us, they've proven that many times over this campaign. They'll prove it again tonight."

    This atmosphere is incredibly positive with qualification booked. None of the usual finger-biting going into a decider.

    Tonight is all about celebrating success and by the looks of the Tartan Army inside Hampden, they fully intend to.

    What an opportunity tonight represents for a number in blue, though.

    Against a much weaker than normal Norway, there's the chance to ride that wave of positivity and show the manager exactly what they offer.

    Whatever happens, this marks the culmination of a wonderful Euro qualifying campaign for Scotland.

    What an opportunity it is for the Luton man.

    While we're on the topic of the great fella, we may as well pour more love on Scott McTominay.

    He has SEVEN goals for Scotland in 2023. In the nation's history, only Denis Law in 1963 (11) and Colin Stein in 1969 (eight) have ever netted more in a calendar year.

    Just the five for you tonight and you have the record, Scotty.
