Scotland will be looking to bounce back against San Marino after their humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Kazakhstan.

After that shock upset, San Marino will certainly fancy their chances against Alex McLeish's side - despite being the lowest-ranked country in world football and having conceded 37 goals in their last ten matches.

Scotland must now secure a win to keep their hopes of automatically qualifying for Euro 2020 alive.

Fraser races down the left and drills a cross into the middle, where Russell is waiting. The ball is taken away from him just as he shapes up to shoot, but McTominay follows up. The Manchester United midfielder blazes his effort over the bar and a second goal continues to prove elusive.
