Scotland secured a huge win in their quest to reach next summer’s World Cup after they defeated Greece 3-1 at Hampden Park.
Steve Clarke’s remain in second place in Group C on seven points, behind Denmark on goal difference after they thrashed Belarus 6-0 in Hungary. However, the Scots have now pulled four points clear of the Greeks in what is becoming a fiercely competitive pool.
Greece had taken the lead just before the hour mark through Kostas Tsimikas, but Scotland showed their fighting spirit by netting three goals in an exhilarating second-half display.
Ryan Christie levelled matters before Lewis Ferguson bagged his first goal in Scotland colours with a crucial strike ten minutes from the end.
Greece pushed for a leveller and Scotland keeper Angus Gunn made an exceptional stop to deny Konstantinos Karetsas from close range. It proved crucial, with Lyndon Dykes landing a third in stoppage time to put Scotland in buoyant mood ahead of facing Belarus.
We give each player a mark out of ten for their performance.
13. Billy Gilmour
Scotland looked a much more cohesive, offensive unit once he was introduced for Doak. Neat on the ball and gave Scotland an increased tempo. 6 | PA
14. Kieran Tierney
Was brought on for Chrsitie towards the end as Scotland tried to see the game out. n/a | SNS Group
15. Lyndon Dykes
Was asked to keep the forward line going after Adams had emptied the tank. Was on hand to capitalise on a terrible mistake by Greek keeper Tzolakis in stoppage time to net Scotland's clincher. 5 | PA
16. Scott McKenna
A stoppage-time replacement as Scotland reinforced their defence. n/a | SNS Group
