- Greece XI: Tzolakis, Vagiannidis, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Giannoulis; Mouzakitis, Zafeiris; Konstantelias, Karetsas, Tzolis; Pavlidis.
Scotland’s problem now is that Greece are happy to sit back and hit them on the counter, with the hosts now needing to be even more fluid in attack. They haven’t managed that so far.
Ferguson is the first booking of the day as he almost clotheslines Karetsas.

Better from Scotland as the subs combine in attack but Hirst narrowly misses taking the ball in his stride.
The hosts still have time here, but they need two to force extra-time.

Three changes for the hosts as Gilmour, Adams and McLean come off for Hirst, Tierney and Ferguson.

Scotland win a corner from nowhere as McGinn plays a lovely early cross that is put behind.
Could this be where the goal comes from? The set-piece is headed away, as is the follow-up cross.
Steve Clarke is preparing changes.

Scary times for the Scots as Pavlidis plays a great diagonal pass to Karetsas in space in the box, but he curls wide of the far post.

Three shots on target for the Greeks and three goals. It tells you what you need to know about the Scotland performance, which has been okay overall but full of poor decisions in defence.

GOAL! Scotland are staring at League B!
It’s another good goal from the visitors, as they work it forward to Konstantelias on the edge of the box. He takes his time before playing a lovely reverse pass into the path of Tzolis in the box, and the youngster simply curls an easy finish past Gordon from just over six yards out.
The visitors get us back underway in Hampden!

It’s been a good half for the neutral in Glasgow, though home fans will be disappointed as they find themselves 2-0 down despite playing fairly well.
They started brightly and had good chances before Greece struck with two good goals to turn the tie on its head.
There’s a lot to do for the hosts to get ahead once more at Hampden.

Greece scorer Konstantinos Karetsas has become the youngest player ever to score in the Nations League, at 17 years and 124 days.
It was some finish from the youngster too.
