00:10the national team draws to a close here in the central European Alps in the micro state of
00:16Liechtenstein on the banks of the Rhine three days on from a lifeless evening at Hampden Park
00:23and that defeat to Iceland. This is a last chance for Scotland to fine-tune ahead of the World
00:29Cup qualifiers and back-to-back away matches in Denmark and against Belarus. This time last year
00:39it was the anticipation and excitement ahead of Euro 2024. The mood couldn't be further removed

04:02но ao déibal meyer they had to make a change after the warm-up.
04:05so coming into the side there, they are Andreas Malen into the back three.
04:11Austrian Bundesliga referee, Julian Weinberger's in charge.
04:17This evening there is no VAR.
04:21Gunn, Tierney and McTominay
04:25all drop out of the Scotland side
04:28and haven't travelled because of injury
04:29there's a first senior cap for Ross Doohan
04:32who until a few days ago
04:33was enjoying a family holiday in Turkey
04:36he was capped 13 times
04:38by the under 21s and was part of the
04:40Aberdeen squad that lifted the Scottish Cup
04:42a couple of weeks ago
04:43first start for Miller in midfield
04:46Robertson, Ferguson, Gilmore
04:49McGinn and Hurst keep their places
04:52in the team and Jack Henry
04:53makes his first Scotland appearance
04:56since the Hungary game in Stuttgart
04:58last summer
04:59Scotland have been here
05:06before, it was a
05:081-0 victory
05:10in the campaign to reach the European
05:12Championship Finals in 2012
05:14Craig Levine was the manager
05:16and it was a
05:18Craig McHale-Smith goal
05:20that settled it
05:21here in Vaduz
05:22and we all remember
05:24Stephen McManus'
05:25very late
05:27winner
05:28in the match at Hampden
05:30the year before
05:31in the same campaign
05:33whichever way
05:36you slice it up
05:38if Scotland don't win this football match
05:40tonight
05:40it will go down as one of the worst results
05:41in their history
05:42quite what comes next for them
05:45when they get those qualifiers underway in September
05:49is anyone's guess
05:50it looks certain
05:52to be the final chapter in Steve Clarke's Scotland story
05:55no matter what happens
05:57whether that's in November
05:58or possibly next June
06:00at the World Cup Finals
06:01won't be determined by this game
06:04or at least it shouldn't be determined by this game
06:08James McFadden
06:09because this is a game that Scotland should win
06:11and win comfortably
06:12though it never seems to work out that way
06:14no it doesn't
06:15these games are tough
06:16considering
06:17you know
06:18the time of the season
06:19dry sticky pitch
06:21they are never easy
06:22but it's a game that Scotland
06:23have to win
06:24and win
06:25I think
06:25for me playing well
06:26because the performance
06:27against Iceland
06:29was as bad as a result for me
06:31so
06:31yeah
06:32Scotland need to get
06:33right back at it
06:34show a lot more energy
06:36and urgency
06:36to get the ball forward
06:37and cause as many problems as we can
06:39and get some goals
06:40excite the fans here
06:41that have travelled
06:42cheer for Ross Dewan
06:45he gets his
06:46first touch
06:47there's a
06:523-0 defeat
06:53in Cardiff
06:53for Lichtenstein
06:54the other night
06:55their
06:56World Cup qualifying group
06:57already
06:58well underway
06:59there is Scott McKenna
07:06and beside Jack Hendry
07:07refreshed back line
07:09Anthony Rolston
07:15back in the side
07:16as well
07:16over at
07:17right back
07:17it's away by
07:19Kindle
07:20the majority
07:23of this Lichtenstein
07:24team
07:25play their football
07:26in the lower reaches
07:26in Switzerland
07:27and Austria
07:28seven clubs
07:30in Lichtenstein
07:32they are in the
07:33Swiss football system
07:34Henry then
07:46for Robertson
07:48his 84th cap
07:50just nudging that bit
07:51closer
07:51to Sir Kenny Dalglish's record
07:54here is Hurst
07:57well the turn was good
08:01the cross not so much
08:02but
08:03he was one of those
08:04I guess
08:06the other night
08:06to emerge with a
08:07bit of credit
08:08he put himself in
08:09goal scoring positions
08:10had it in the net
08:11of course
08:11ruled out for an offside
08:13against McTominay
08:13in the build up
08:14probably should have scored
08:16with a header
08:16in the first half
08:17but he was
08:18at least something
08:19to grab onto
08:21for Steve Clark
08:21yeah I think that
08:23you know
08:23he performed
08:25what was asked of him
08:26he should have
08:27probably scored
08:28I think that
08:28you know
08:28you look at strikers
08:29and they will always
08:30be disappointed
08:30when you miss chances
08:31but you've got to be
08:32in there to miss them
08:33there's Adams
08:34there is Hurst
08:35and
08:36it will be
08:38the game's first corner
08:39and that's the first link up
08:45that you can see
08:45for Adams
08:46and Hurst
08:47look at the movement
08:47just peeling off the back
08:49going to the near post
08:50it's actually defended
08:51pretty well
08:52the signs are good
08:53scored five goals
08:58for Ipswich
08:59this season
09:00did Hurst
09:02his dad David
09:07was capped three times
09:08by England
09:08Robertson then
09:17with the corner
09:18it's back to the edge
09:20of the box
09:21for Miller
09:21Adams
09:22and a fabulous finish
09:25from Shea Adams
09:28just one goal
09:31and 19 caps
09:32coming into this one
09:34and he's giving Scotland
09:36an early lead
09:37here in Vaduz
09:37yeah
09:38nice early lead
09:39decent ball in
09:41and it is defended
09:43pretty well
09:44Lenin Miller
09:45decent strike
09:48but it's a good
09:48touching hit
09:49from Shea Adams
09:51certainly
09:51settled the nerves
09:52if there were any
09:53so often we've watched
09:57Scotland against
09:58the Minos
09:59struggle
10:00and toil
10:01to break them down
10:02and Shea Adams
10:04with his seventh
10:05international goal
10:06will make Steve Clark
10:10feel a little bit better
10:11about things
10:11yeah it's the ideal
10:17ideal start
10:17you know
10:18you expect it to be tough
10:19Lichtenstein
10:20will do
10:22mostly defending
10:24in this game
10:25so to get the early goal
10:26the early breakthrough
10:27will settle the players a bit
10:29but it doesn't mean
10:29they can take their foot
10:30off the gas
10:31they still have to go
10:31and press forward
10:32and try and get more goals
10:34and just about
10:47every player out there
10:48in particular
10:49the
10:49midfield and forward
10:51players will
10:52be very keen
10:54to get on the score sheet
10:55likes of Lewis Ferguson
10:56who's still looking
10:57for his first
10:57international goal
10:58I think
10:59put it past
11:00his own keeper
11:02the other night
11:02not that he knew
11:03much about it
11:04Gilmore
11:07nice ball
11:09Robertson
11:10just a bit too much
11:11on it
11:12it is but it's good play
11:14work from right to left
11:16waiting for that opening
11:17good way to pass
11:18from Billy Gilmore
11:19and Andy Robertson
11:21just trying to flash
11:21that across
11:22gets a bit too much
11:23height on it
11:23but the play is good
11:25to create the opening
11:26lifted over the top
11:49by Miller
11:50Ferguson giving chase
11:51will be another corner
11:53put behind there
11:58by Jens Hofer
11:59the steely face
12:09of Steve Clark
12:09he's come in for some
12:10criticism
12:11in the wake of the last
12:13two performances
12:15both games at
12:15Hampden
12:16against the Greeks
12:17in March
12:17and then Friday night
12:18group of players
12:30running about the penalty
12:31spot breaking away
12:32from that now
12:33goalkeeper comes
12:35and it's
12:36going to be a free
12:38kick to the home
12:39team
12:39Bucho came out
12:41and got his fist
12:42to it
12:43it's a little
12:50variation in the
12:51corner towards the
12:52back post
12:52Hurst there putting
12:54the pressure on
12:55I mean it's Hofer
12:59who was down
12:59injured
12:59he was sent off
13:03Hofer against
13:04Germany in the
13:052022 World Cup
13:06qualifiers
13:07but a dreadful
13:07challenge
13:08on Germany's
13:09Lyon Goretzka
13:10well Scotland
13:35were qualifying
13:35for the European
13:37Championship
13:37finals in
13:38Germany
13:38last summer
13:40Liechtenstein
13:41lost all
13:41ten
13:42of theirs
13:43in their
13:45qualifying group
13:46a little
13:52skill there
13:53from Gilmore
13:54just to
13:55take Shelley
13:57right out
13:57of the equation
13:58Robertson
14:10Robertson over
14:10the top for
14:10Hurst
14:11flags up
14:13he just goes
14:18too early
14:19there's been a few
14:20occasions where
14:21Scotland have
14:22looked to play
14:22that pass
14:23in behind
14:23certainly more
14:25intent to go
14:25forward as you
14:26would expect
14:27anyway
14:27than against
14:28Iceland
14:29and I think
14:29that may well
14:31may well be on
14:33side there
14:33Hurst
14:34John McGinn
14:49earning his
14:5077th cap this
14:51evening
14:51goes level
14:52with Alec
14:52McLeish
14:53above Paul
14:54McStay
14:55there's plenty
14:58caps left
14:59and a few
15:00of these guys
15:00who are
15:01threatening to
15:01break the
15:02records
15:02and that young
15:11man could have
15:11some international
15:12career over the
15:13next decade
15:14and more
15:15absolutely
15:16he's going to
15:17have some
15:18career anyway
15:1918 years old
15:21starting for his
15:22country
15:22absolutely
15:24will not
15:25phase him
15:25one bit
15:25yeah only 18
15:31clearly not in a
15:32rush to leave
15:32Motherwell but is
15:33this the summer
15:34for him to make
15:34his move or
15:35what do you
15:36think
15:36yeah I think
15:37it looks more
15:37more likely
15:38I think that
15:39you know he's
15:40had two years
15:41in the first
15:41team
15:41gained that
15:43experience
15:43showing that
15:44he's a top
15:45talent
15:46and he's
15:47certainly
15:48if he does go
15:50in the summer
15:50he'll leave
15:50with the best
15:51wishes of
15:51everyone at
15:52Motherwell
15:52and he'll get
16:00them a massive
16:00fee as well
16:01well that's
16:07what it's all
16:08about that's
16:08the business
16:09model that
16:09every club
16:10would love to
16:10follow
16:10look at the
16:23goal that
16:24separates the
16:24teams
16:25good finish
16:28by Adams
16:28this is a
16:28productive
16:29season
16:29in Italy
16:31like so
16:31many
16:32of the
16:32current
16:33Scotland
16:33squad
16:33have
16:34playing with
16:36Torino
16:37nine goals
16:40four assists
16:40eight of those
16:42nine goals
16:43coming in
16:43Serie A
16:44that's a
16:56nice flick by
16:57Hurst
16:57Adams
16:58on his own
16:59for the
16:59moment
16:59support from
17:01McGinn
17:02hangs at the
17:03cross
17:03Ferguson
17:04met it
17:04didn't quite
17:07get clean
17:07contact though
17:08that's a big
17:08chance
17:09it's a really
17:09good cross
17:10from John
17:10McGinn
17:11and I wonder
17:12if the goalkeeper
17:12just does enough
17:13to catch the
17:13eye of Lewis
17:14Ferguson
17:14and put him
17:15off it
17:15big switch
17:37from Gilmore
17:38again managed
17:40to keep that
17:40in
17:40defended by
17:46Lars
17:46Traber
17:47there
17:47but
17:48Scotland
17:49winning
17:49the ball
17:50back
17:51very quickly
17:51when they
17:52lose it
17:52lose it
18:03he's a chance for
18:05Lewis Ferguson
18:06Dumped away by
18:15Andreas Mallon
18:17There's a chance for Lewis Ferguson
18:20I mean
18:23Well the keeper's all over the shop
18:25Yeah he is
18:26Lewis Ferguson
18:28Normally really good in those situations
18:31Yes
19:01Zaglan was looking for a foul there, there's no whistle.
19:21They're popping it about pretty well right now.
19:31There's one for Lukey to chase, Henry's there though.
19:43Just about a full year out of the national team, Jack Henry has had injury problems this season.
19:49Still with Al-Etifak in Saudi Arabia.
19:53Here's McGinn, he's done well, and it's straight at the goalkeeper, Buchel, who claims it at the near post.
20:03Yeah, he does well, John McGinn, to get into the position but maybe the angle's just against him a little bit, plus he didn't have too many options in the middle.
20:11Still, nice little bit of skill, just to lift it over him.
20:20Scotland have only won two of their last 16 friendlies.
20:23We didn't see as many of them as we used to, of course, with the advent of the Nations League.
20:41It's a fairly insipid record, albeit their record in competitive games is much better, and that's where it counts.
20:53It's a fairly insipid record, albeit their record in competitive games is much better, and that's where it counts.
21:05McKenna for McGinn and now Robertson, McGinn again, Robertson for Miller, bounces straight
21:28off the Liechtenstein skipper Hasler.
22:28it seems to be a problem here for
22:32Hurst
22:33yeah I mean
22:38goes down straight away as this pass
22:40is played in
22:41I think
22:43we'll just see Sally stepping across
22:46him as he's on his way down
22:48but Scotland are
22:50knocking the ball about and waiting, probing for that
22:52opening and it's amazing
22:54if it was 0-0 there would be frustration
22:56to get the ball forward and force the
22:58issue because
23:00you get that early goal
23:02gives you the ability
23:04then to wait for that opening
23:06sometimes you see it where
23:20it is a bit like knocking the ball around
23:23just for the sake of it but you can see that
23:24they're looking forward, they're trying to play that
23:27or wait for that opening to play
23:29the pass forward and trying to
23:30move Liechtenstein, you do that
23:33with the speed in your passing
23:34you try and move them, try and create those gaps
23:37well, Fabio
23:46Luque
23:47has taken a blow
23:49I think the back of the head there
23:50challenge of
23:53Gilmore
23:53Hendry looking for Adams
24:04Asler gets there
24:08played both against Scotland
24:10all those years ago
24:11the other two
24:13meetings between the nations
24:14this level
24:15again for Miller
24:21it's well blocked by Traber
24:25but it's really good play again
24:27little giving goes
24:30and
24:30one-twos are working well so far
24:32yeah they are
24:33I think some of the play has been good
24:34you've also got players that are willing to run beyond
24:37and run in behind and create
24:39those problems
24:40certainly been more link up down this left-hand side
24:46again
24:47Robertson
24:48then Miller getting involved as well
24:50he's now just one cat behind his dad
24:53here comes
24:59a little audacious flick from Hendry
25:02it's well wide in the end
25:04I think it's safe to say
25:06he's going to beat his dad's cap record
25:08it's odds on isn't it
25:10yeah
25:10and he'll be absolutely delighted about it as well
25:13Lee
25:13absolutely
25:14his dad's first cap actually was the Kirin Cup
25:24against Japan
25:25in 2006
25:27picked up the silverware
25:30yeah exactly
25:30that's one he'll have over his son
25:33one cat one trophy

26:02Billy Gilmore, it's a collector's item, he redeems himself slightly.
26:26Another title winning Scott, Billy Gilmore, played his part for Napoli.
26:32And they are excellent Scudetto.
26:53Fine day for it, just over 20 degrees Celsius here, the Scotland supporters enjoying the hospitality that's open.
27:01There isn't much of it, open public holiday here.
27:05But there is always a way.
27:13Luque is down again.
27:14The ball fired straight in his stomach, close range.
27:23He's a Vaduz player, local team here, but mainly with their youth team, scored 18 times.
27:35And this is the second time he's been down the last few minutes.
27:41Well, Scotland absolutely desperate to end this World Cup hiatus that they've been on since 1998.
27:53And they have the toughest fixture on paper, and it's difficult, I guess, to say that with real confidence, given what we saw Greece do at Hampden in March in the Nations League playoffs.
28:07Because Greece are in Scotland's group two, but Denmark are the top seeds, and in theory, they get the most difficult fixture out of the way first, because of the parking in Copenhagen.
28:29Yeah, I think that is, in theory, I think Greece showed everyone just how good a side they are, and certainly showed that Scotland getting into these games have to up their levels.
28:42There's no doubt about that, I think that the games will be fairly evenly matched, and to be honest, if Scotland can get playing at their best, then they are a match for Denmark and Greece, no doubt, but you have to be at your best for the neutral.
28:57I think it'd be a good, exciting group, maybe not so much for the Scotland fan.
29:06Filled by Adams, it's the Austrian referee.
29:12In a couple of days, it'll be exactly a year to the start of that World Cup, kicks off in the Azteca, Mexico City.
29:42Gilmore to Ferguson, he's been caught, and if we're going to see there's an advantage, and he decides to allow it.
30:12It's important to keep the intensity up, isn't it?
30:17You don't want the levels to drop, and then suddenly it becomes a bit attritional.
30:24Absolutely.
30:25These are the games where they become more difficult when you don't set the tempo, when you take your foot off the gas a little bit.
30:34That's why they become difficult.
30:36It's all about the players and their attitude to make this game as easy as they can or as they want.
30:41It wasn't ideal.
30:53Goalkeeper Buchhol giving it away, and Scotland have their second.
30:57Well, it's so simple in the end, and it's a nightmare for Benjamin Buchhol and his defenders.
31:11Scotland two up on 25 minutes.
31:13Yeah, and it comes from Lennon Miller breaking to go and put pressure and win the ball back.
31:20It's really good play from him.
31:22Aggression to win it back, and also, you know, the composure.
31:26Easy for him to get excited and try and get his shot away.
31:29He finds he's striking, and Shea Adams just shifts it back through the legs, near post.
31:34Goalkeeper wrong-footed, no chance of keeping it out.
31:37But Lennon Miller is the architect of that goal with the pressure and the awareness to get the pass away.
31:43Yeah, tidy little finish from Adams, his second, and Scotland's second.
31:53And now he'll be fancying a hat-trick.
31:56Absolutely.
32:02A foul on Traber there, it will be a Liechtenstein free kick.
32:06Well, coming into the game this evening, Shea Adams mentioned earlier, he'd only scored once in his last 19 caps.
32:19That was against Gibraltar in Faro a year ago.
32:22So, he'll want more tonight.
32:25Absolutely.
32:26Absolutely.
32:26And I think when you look at his goals, it's quick, instinctive striker play.
32:30You know, his first goal, it's a great touch to get out of his feet.
32:33Smashes it into the back of the net.
32:34First foray forward for Liechtenstein, this.
32:42He didn't manage a single shot, let alone one on target in Cardiff the other night.
32:47He's got the free kick.
32:55John McGinn drove out of defence.
32:58Yeah, you can see as soon as he picked it up, he's deciding where he wants to buy that foul.
33:02John McGinn, he's a great defendant from him.
33:05And then this is what we're used to seeing, the strength, driving forward.
33:11Taking it.
33:13I wouldn't say take the pressure off, but definitely take this thing out of the attack for Liechtenstein.
33:20It's another who's had a superb season.
33:23Champions League quarterfinals with Aston Villa.
33:28This is something else to add to CV.
33:31Could have had a very different career, John McGinn, when he left St. Mirren.
33:41Look, he was going to go over to the MLS.
33:46Went to Hibbs, won the Scottish Cup, rests history.
33:56Aston Villa captain.
34:01Clever ball again from Miller.
34:21Hurst couldn't quite work it back to Robertson.
34:24And fell by Ferguson.
34:25That's a lovely little pass for Lennon Miller.
34:29He's shaped over the top.
34:32John McGinn.
34:34Strength again.
34:38Snuggling.
34:39It's down.
34:40A little bit of treatment.
35:11A little dummy from Gilmore, of course wasn't on the same page.
35:41I'm talking about Lennon Miller and his future.
36:02It's going to be interesting this summer to see what happens with the likes of Scott McKenna, Lewis Ferguson.
36:08Ferguson, of course, captaining Bologna to the Coppa Italia in Rome against Milan.
36:15But there are plenty of interested parties in Italy and I'm sure elsewhere in his services.
36:23So happy at Bologna.
36:27Scott McKenna has just been relegated with Las Palmas from Spain's top flight.
36:32QPR move is in the offing for him.
36:36QPR move is in the offing for him.
37:02There's Adams picking up the scraps.
37:12Push by Hurst.
37:15I was going to see Kenny Kindley there who you saw spin and turn down in the near touchline here.
37:20It would have been raging if he got the ball back to him.
37:22Just a lovely bit of play.
37:24But the pass back towards him went astray and it's not a pass he wanted.
37:29No, it's not.
37:30And again, you know, Scotland on that pressure and winning the ball back.
37:35I actually thought when it came to Shea Adams there that he's on a hat-trick.
37:39I think you could forgive him for going for a goal there.
37:42Maybe that took Hurst by surprise as well.
37:44Well,
37:44Maybe that took Hurst by surprise as well.
38:14John McGinn,
38:15he was the last Scotland player to score a hat-trick.
38:18Did so against San Marino.
38:202019.
38:202019.
38:44There's a loose one.
38:46Ferguson's on to it.
38:49McGinn for Miller.
38:53Cut out by Hassler.
38:55Adams leaving it for Ferguson.
39:22Again wins the corner.
39:23That's a good play.
39:27Again,
39:28ball into Adams.
39:30Feet,
39:30get the awareness
39:31to let it go for Lewis Ferguson.
39:34Just going to try and play Adams back in.
39:36will be Lennon Miller's corner.
39:51We'll be Lennon Miller's corner.
39:57McKenna back across for Hendry.
40:00Another one.
40:01I guess they all had a tough time at the Euros.
40:16Jack Henry was one of those who didn't have the best tournament.
40:23It's McGinn.
40:29Yeah,
40:29that side of the Scotland defence at the Euros.
40:32Back five as it was,
40:34of course,
40:34at the tournament.
40:35Henry and Ralston
40:36had a pretty torrid time
40:38on occasion.
40:42Ralston went on
40:43to have an excellent Nations League campaign.
40:52Yeah,
40:53he did.
40:53He recovered well.
40:55Anthony and Ralston.
40:56I don't know what else Lewis Ferguson's supposed to do there.
41:06Steve Clark
41:22as the likes of Kieran Bowie,
41:25Connor Barron,
41:26Andrew Irving
41:27on the bench.
41:29We'll get a look at them later.
41:35A clear handball,
41:37that.
41:40It's the striker Saglam.
41:42Anyway,
41:42it comes to nothing.
41:48Gilmore's getting the free kick.
41:52Fell by Luschinger.
41:53Lichtenstein,
41:58we're trying to mount an attack there.
42:00Scotland win it again.
42:01Drive forward,
42:01draw the foul.
42:02It's not the fight out of Lichtenstein.
42:05Keeping the control in the game.
42:09He's been booked for it as well.
42:12It's probably,
42:13arguably,
42:13Lichtenstein's best player.
42:15Luchinger,
42:1622s.
42:17Going to be playing in the Austrian second tier
42:20next season.
42:23Gilmore leaves it for Robertson.
42:35Rolston keeps it alive.
42:37McGinn
42:37for Adams.
42:49Rolston
42:49Scott McKenna out to Robertson.
42:58Scott McKenna out to Robertson.
43:01Rolston keeps it alive.
43:14Rolston keeps it alive.
43:15McKenna driving forward. I think he wanted to begin to make the run down the line.
43:45The microphones felt the brunt of Max Koppel's frustration, they're not cheap those things.
44:11You're not thinking about that when you're playing football though, Liam.
44:19It's a great drive and run by Gilmore, he's unfortunately couldn't quite get back on to the balls, Traver clears.
44:41Hurst was looking for a foul there.
44:56Ultimately he's given a goal kick, there's a bit of confusion there.
44:59Yeah, it looked like he was pointing for a corner kick, which it never was.
45:02It wasn't a foul either, but it was the correct decision in the end.
45:39Yeah, I mean, 2-0 up, and on a sticky pitch there's been some good football, certainly more emphasis on getting the ball forward, making Lichtenstein defend.
45:51I suppose he'll be like, every manager he wants more, but I think that he can say that his team have certainly approached this with the right attitude.
46:01And so far get the rewards from it, he'll be looking for more goals, more attempts on goal.
46:06But overall, yeah, I think he'll be pleased.
46:10The ball was won cleanly there.
46:25And it's a glam, and it's Lichtenstein threatening rear foray forward, and unfortunately for Luque.
46:40He almost ran out of ideas there, and he's looking for a penalty.
46:43It's not happening, no VAR this evening to have a look back at anything like that anyway.
46:50Rolston's ball, but it's right through to Buchel.
47:17It's outside the box anyway, isn't it?
47:27Yeah, and it's hopeful.
47:29He's running out of space, and crowded out.
47:31Well, Rolston could have taken the sound lounger he was lying on this holiday in Turkey with him for the match here this evening.
47:45So little to do.
47:47And then you would hope a Scotland goalkeeper wouldn't be getting overworked by Lichtenstein.
47:52Yeah, it's no surprise that it hasn't been worked at all.
48:00But certainly, if you're going to come in for your debut, and you've got an unbelievable chance of getting a clean sheet,
48:06I don't think he's going to be complaining. He's not looking for saves to make.
48:08It's like he's off back to Celtic, doing another great ball by Miller.
48:17Here's McGinn.
48:19The goalkeeper makes the save.
48:24In an unorthodox fashion.
48:26Misunderstanding between Adams and Rolston.
48:35Yeah, that's a great save.
48:37I have to say, the pass is excellent.
48:40Perfectly weighted for Lennon-Miller.
48:42Good first touch from McGinn.
48:43Looks like he's going to fire it across.
48:45Goes for goal.
48:46Strong left hand for the goalkeeper.
48:49It's a good save, but the pass from Lennon-Miller is outstanding.
48:52And again fouled.
49:03He saw it as well, Shea Adams appealed.
49:06He just couldn't quite get it out of his feet to get that cross.
49:09Crossfield pass into him.
49:12It's underway quickly.
49:14Here's Ferguson for Robertson.
49:17He's taken away from Hurst.
49:18It's Mallon who got his head to it before the Scotland striker.
49:29And that would have been a glorious opportunity for his first Scotland goal.
49:32Had that reached him?
49:33Yeah, absolutely.
49:37And that comes, you know, the tempo to play the free kick quick.
49:41And get the ball in the box.
49:43Well, given what we've seen from Liechtenstein, you can probably understand why.
49:57They've only won one of their last 30 home games.
50:00Which dates back to beating Gibraltar in September 2018.
50:03And they beat Hong Kong 1-0 in a friendly here at the Rhine Park last autumn.
50:13Here's a chance for Kindlay.
50:26It's open right up for him as well.
50:30And the Scotland players decided to give him the freedom of the pitch there right to the edge of the box.
50:38And if that's on target, Dewan might have been in trouble.
50:41So, yeah, it's a brilliant driving run from Kindlay.
50:45And, you know, he does really well to get away from McGinn, create a bit of space.
50:49Not the best connection, but it's a brilliant run.
50:52Gives Liechtenstein a little glimmer of hope that they can cause Scotland problems.
50:56One minute of stoppage time, which we are into.
51:04One minute of stoppage time, which we are into.
51:08A crowd of just over 4,000 inside the stadium.
51:13And the majority of them appear to be Scotland supporters.
51:18And the first offside.
51:37Half-time then.
51:53In Liechtenstein, a match that Steve Clarke was desperate to not just win, but to put in a good performance.
52:04And they've been in control pretty much since the off.
52:07A double from Shea Adams in 4 and 26 minutes.
52:10As Scotland in cruise control, and it's not often we are able to say that.
52:17And sit comfortably.
