STEPHEN McGOWAN: This was an old-fashioned British slugfest and keeps Scotland's Euro 2020 hopes alive... Steve Clarke's men turned up to compete and did just that but have to find a way to start scoring goals

After a performance of courage, organisation and guile Scotland are still in the fight. A Wembley display as brave and gung ho as Steve Clarke’s team selection preserved hopes of progression to the last 16 of the Euro 2020 finals.

Make no mistake. An old timer closing his eyes at Wembley would have felt as if he was back in the 1970s. Players in dark blue going toe to toe with more fancied opponents. A lubricated Tartan Army in full voice and scenes of raucous caledonian at time up. This time, at least, the goalposts lived to fight another do.
