  1. Thank goodness for Sophie Howardpublished at 21:06 British Summer Time 9 April

    Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    Sophie was, in my opinion, player of the match on Friday night in Serbia and she's showing her worth tonight, once again finding the back of the net at Hampden.

    However, I can't help but worry that Scotland still need more in the final third - they can't keep relying on their defence to save the day...

    It's all in the delivery from Erin Cuthbert, great pace on it.

    Sophie Howard is such a threat in the air and it's a really strong header.

    Finally!

    Erin Cuthbert's wonderful delivery is met by Sophie Howard who makes no mistake with her header this time out.

    Scotland 0-0 Slovakia

    Lisa Evans wins a free-kick on the edge of the box. It's a decent enough delivery but once again no one is able to get on the end of it.

    Slovakia go racing up the pitch and Tamara Moravkova lets one fly but her effort is waayyy over the bar.

    Fiona Brown and Kirsty Smith are the pair to make way for those two. Can they provide the spark Scotland (and all of us watching) so desperately need?

    Claire Emslie and Jamie-Lee Napier are getting instructions from Pedro Martinez Losa, looks like they'll be about to join us.

    Scotland get forward once again. Erin Cuthbert is joined by Fiona Brown whose cross takes a nick off the Slovakia defender and is easily gathered by the keeper.

    Scotland 0-0 Slovakia

    So close! Erin Cuthbert picks up the ball on the edge of the area and pings a low pass across the box but once again no one is there to get on the end of it.

    Up the other end Kirsty Smith gets in a tangle with Laura Zemberyova in the box - no penalty says the ref.

    Scotland 0-0 Slovakia

    An early free-kick is floated in by Fiona Brown but no one in blue can get a touch on it.

    Slovakia attempt to go racing up the other end but the Scotland back line doing their job.

  12. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time 9 April

    The visitors get things restarted.

    The players are back out for the second half.

    Any chance of some goals in this one?

    Leanne Crichton
    Former Scotland international on BBC Alba

    I think Slovakia finished the stronger of the two sides but just before that I feel Scotland found more of an impetus to get forward.

    The missing piece of the puzzle is in the final third and hopefully they improve on that in the second half.

  15. How to sum up the first 45?published at 20:31 British Summer Time 9 April

    How to sum up that first-half?

    Plenty Scotland possession, few Scotland chances.

    The Scotland manager has been known to change things up at half-time, will we see any new faces for the second-half?

    Scotland are frustrated. The play has been far too slow to break down a team like this. They really need to up the tempo.

  17. HALF-TIME Scotland 0-0 Slovakiapublished at 20:26 British Summer Time 9 April

    A lacklustre first half to say the least. Scotland are showing signs of something but they're sorely lacking in the end product.

    A really important 45 minutes coming up.

    Lee Gibson is forced into a save as Tamara Moravkova lets one fly from the edge of the box.

    And that'll be the last action of the first half.

    Fiona Brown tries to send Erin Cuthbert away but it's cut out for a Scotland throw.

    Slovakia eventually clear and then earn themselves a free-kick.
