Scotland bid to avoid relegation from the Nations League’s top tier against a side looking for a spot in the quarter-finals. Join Scott Murray.   19:54 5 min: A lethargic Gilmour is skittled off the ball by Kovačić.

This vindicates the hard times Scotland have had to endure in this campaign and, while they were handed a huge slice of fortune, they still had to deliver. That said, Clarke's side were being taught a lesson in the opening half. Croatia seized the initiative and Scotland repeatedly made mistakes.

Scotland earned a vital 1-0 victory over Croatia in the Nations League on matchday five thanks to late substitute John McGinn, who converted the rebound after Ben Doak's shot was parried. Long time waiting: The win snapped a long winless streak and kept Scotland's hopes alive of avoiding relegation with an important match against Poland next.
