We're still playing well. Ralston tiring, so expect the game is poised for a Devlin winner off the bench.

First part called correctly Rico

That Christie/Shankland substitution has sucked the life and creativity out of us.

[Jute]

Andy fucking Robertson you beautiful man.

You could sense the fear in the opposition as soon as Devlin took to the park. They'll credit Robertson with the goal, but it was Nicky that made the difference.

Great victory like. We probably didn't deserve second place, but we didn't deserve to get relegated either, so well done. A really exciting game tonight with some excellent stuff on display. Doak going off nearly killed it, especially as he was replaced by Christie cutting inside. It totally changed the dynamic. Some ball from souttar for the goal too, and a peach of a header from Robertson, whose decision making had been poor all night. Gordon was solid, Souttar good, McLean and Gilmour were excellent and Doak and McGinn did well but both faded towards the end (with Doak subbed obviously). Ralston was okay again. 

[Jute]

We had chances to win that more comfortably but almost blew it by taking too long to make the subs. Ralston and McTominay were left on for longer than they should have. 3rd is probably about where we would have expected to finish. On to play off against 2nd placed team from B groups. Draw on Friday. 
 

ETA Craig Gordon is still an amazing keeper at 41 but we need to hope someone else comes through soon as he cannot go on forever.

So consensus from radio scotland is to hope Georgia get a win or draw tomorrow night in Prague (or wherever the Czechs choose to play.)

That would put Clarke and Co into pot 2 of the world cup draw

Obviously they'd heard about Devlin's goal prowess and marked him tightly leaving Robertson having heard about his goal prowess.

Well thats out the window.

Just have to make do with schadenfreude watching Wales potentially heading to block B relegation playoff

[Jute]

Georgia have it back to 2-1 and Slovakia drawing with Estonia so still a chance of Pot 2 for World Cup draw. 
 

For Nations League play off teams in second currently are Turkey, Austria, Ukraine and Greece.

[Jute]

Wales 3-1 up now. 

[OxfordDon]

Georgia had 2 glorious opportunities to make it 2-2 in the 89th and 91st minutes, cleared off the line.  Handbags out, yellow cards everywhere, game finished 2-1.

Id presume group A teams get the 2nd leg at home but then again UEFA probably only do that when a big team is facing relegation. 

Not sure belgium have done enough to be classed as a big team
