Moldova 0 - 2 Scotland RECAP: John McGinn brilliant as play-off spot secured
Scotland go in search of a play-off spot to reach the World Cup in Qatar next week.
The national team are in Chisinau to face Moldova at the Stadionul Zimbru for a 5pm kick-off. A win for Steve Clarke’s men will ensure second place behind Denmark in the group and a play-off spot.
Even if Scotland fail to win, they can still qualify tonight depending on the outcome of Israel v Austria later this evening.
The fixture with Moldova won’t have any bearing on whether the team could be seeded for the play-off. That’s why the final group fixture with Denmark is key.
There is anticipation around Clarke’s team selection. He could hand a debut to Jacob Brown, the Stoke City forward, while there are big decisions in defence and at wing-back with key players missing.
We will have all the latest from the crucial World Cup qualifier with updates, analysis and reaction throughout the afternoon and evening.
