And we’re back for the second half! No changes from either side. The Tartan Army must find a goal quickly if they want to keep their play-off hopes alive.

Football really is a strange game. The Ethniki could easily have been four goals clear before the Tartan Army even mustered a shot, yet Scotland suddenly burst into life late in the half and squandered three huge chances. A chaotic, breathless end, but Clarke’s men somehow remain just one down at the break.
A much better delivery this time, and the Tartan Army get a head to it, but there's no clean strike on goal. Play stops immediately as the referee spots a head knock in the box.
Huge stop from Gordon. Retsos flicks a corner on at the near post, and it looks destined to sneak in, but the Scotland keeper reacts superbly to palm it away.
Scotland look strangely flat, almost unaware of the stakes tonight. The Ethniki are growing in confidence, and young Karetsas is starting to showboat down the flank. The Tartan Army won’t enjoy this.
Robertson whips in a deep free-kick from the left, but it drifts too close to the Ethniki goalkeeper, who gathers comfortably. A wasted chance for the Tartan Army.
A defensive mix-up costs Scotland early. Souttar misjudges the ball, Pavlidis forces a save from Gordon, but Bakasetas reacts quickest and slots the rebound into the bottom-right corner. Nightmare start for the Tartan Army.
The game is one, but the vibes around the stadium are weird. The stadium is half emptly here. Wonder if they are going to miss some crazy action today.
