Well it's Armenia v Scotland that's going to kick off in a few moments. Scotland know that it will be vital that they defeat Armenia today, if they want to have any serious chance of qualifying from this group. It's never easy playing Armenia away in Yerevan, the heat will be against the Scots and so will the large turnout of Armenian supporters. But Scotland will have to summon up all their reserves to get this vital win, which they desperately need. 

Scotland's lineup is as follows:

                           Gordon 

        McTominay - Hanley - Hendry 

Taylor, Gilmour, McGregor, Patterson 

               McGinn, Armstrong 

                          Adams

It looks a decent lineup for Scotland and I fancy that they will earn a narrow win, despite the conditions.

Armenia score and take an early lead through Bichakhchyan!  The cross came in and he tapped the ball home from close range!

Armenia 1-0 Scotland

[Michael]

Well the Scots may rue their luck that a foul wasn't called for Hanley being brought down in the build up to the goal, but really Scotland should have still prevented the goal. The Scots have no choice now but to become much more offensive now. It should be interesting.

[Michael]

Armstrong equalises for Scotland!!! Adams controlled a cross to him in the area with his back to goal and he set up Armstrong, who slotted an accurate finish into the corner of the net!!

Armenia 1-1 Scotland

[Michael]

Adams has a long range shot go just wide of the Amenian post.

[Michael]

What a miss by Patterson! A dangerous Scottish cross found it's way to Patterson, who was in front of goal, but he completely miss hit the ball and his effort went well wide.

[Michael]

Hovhanissyan is sent off for Armenia. He was already booked earlier and he is now sent off for a terrible challenge on Patterson.

[Michael]

Armstrong scores his 2nd goal for Scotland!!! Armstrong collected the ball in the area, skipped past a challenge and shot at goal with an accurate finish into the corner of the net. Armstrong has been excellent today and has scored 2 vital goals for Scotland.

Armenia 1-2 Scotland

Just in, and switched the game on. Sounds like I've missed an eventful half then
