Hello and welcome to live minute-by-minute coverage of Scotland’s clash with Moldova.

Tonight's Scotland XI!

Armstrong... saved! Good attacking play from Scotland sees Adam feed the ball to his Southampton teammate, Armstrong, but he could only shoot straight at the opposition keeper.

Chance for the hosts! That was a warning for Scotland with Ionica played in behind, but the Moldovan midfielder was only able to fire wide of the far post. Opportunity for Moldova!

It's been a positive start by Scotland. They are on the front foot already and you can tell they want to get an early goal to relieve some of the pressure. Moldova having to defend.

That would have been the perfect start for Scotland. Adams showed great composure to check back and finish into the back of the net with the goalkeeper down on the ground.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! Adams has the ball in the back of the net, but the flag is raised! The Southampton striker was indeed offside when the pass was played!

What sort of match will we witness this evening? There is a lot on the line for Scotland who will clinch a place in the 2022 World Cup play-offs with a victory. Can they get the job done?
