    FT: Scotland 0-1 Northern Ireland

    Stephen Robinson
    St Mirren manager on BBC Two NI

    I think we thoroughly deserved it.

    Over the game they had Lawrence Shankland's chance and we defended set plays when we needed to. For me it's a real, real positive.

    Could it be the beginning of a new team?

  2. 'Scotland's momentum punctured'published at 21:43 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March

    Neil McCann
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Scotland

    Given Scotland are off to a major tournament, these results have just punctured our momentum.

    There's a lot of work to get us back on song again, and more importantly, winning games again.

  3. 'Bright summer ahead for Northern Ireland'published at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March

    Stephen Robinson
    St Mirren manager on BBC Two NI

    This is a fantastic result for Michael O'Neill and the staff.

    We spoke about belief, and going forward as a squad a result here on top of the Romania result means we can go away looking forward to the summer with the boys desperate to come and join the squad when they could be on holiday.

  4. FULL-TIME Scotland 0-1 Northern Irelandpublished at 21:39 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March

    Listen to the boos.

    Northern Ireland secure their first away win in over a year, thanks to Conor Bradley's first-half finish.

    Euro 2024-bound Scotland were flat and offered very, very little.

    Into the final minute, Che Adams has won a corner.

    One last roll of the dice.

    Bailey Peacock-Farrell was flapping.

    Unfortunately, the effort goes over the bar and not under it.

    Bailey Peacock-Farrell in all spots of bother waaay off his line.

    Lawrence Shankland rises on the end of a high ball, but his header from far out just doesn't drop in time for the Scots.

    Scotland 0-1 Northern Ireland

    That's as close as Scotland have come.

    Lewis Ferguson's strong header is tipped over by Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

    First piece of notable action he's been called into and we're at the 90.

  9. 'Positivity ebbing away'published at 21:34 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March

    Neil McCann
    Former Scotland winger on BBC Scotland

    There was so much to be encouraged about after 70 minutes on Friday - all that spirit, all that positivity - is starting to ebb away.

    There were so many reasons to feel good about this group.

    Hampden is starting to clear fairly rapidly.

    Been a wee while since so many empty seats have been spotted at a Scotland game...

    Double switch for the visitors.

    Goalscorer Connor Bradley and Isaac Price head off, replaced by Conor McMenamin and Paul Smyth.

    Just caught a second view of that, Brodie Spencer is the man in the right place.

    A fantastic stop with his thigh.

    What a block! Don't ask me who from...

    Lawrence Shankland with an instinctive shot blasts off a Northern Irish body in front of goal.

    Crucial, that.

    Scotland are starting to force play now.

    The patience they showed in the first half moving the ball and trying to get overloads to the wide areas, now they are trying to force long balls.

    Jack Hendry slides in at the back stick on the end of that free kick, but again, it's as if he's towing caravans.

    So. Slow.

  19. 'Shankland Scotland's best finisher'published at 21:23 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March

    Scotland 0-1 Northern Ireland

    Steven Naismith
    Hearts manager & former Scotland forward on BBC Scotland

    Lawrence Shankland is the most accomplished finisher Scotland have.

    He misses chances all the time, but he's always there to take the next one.

    We've got two players on now who know how to score goals.
