- 90'+5'That's all from Hampden Park today, so thanks for joining us and goodbye!
- 90'+5'On Tuesday night, the Tartan Army march on to Vienna, as they meet one of their chief rivals for a playoff place - with Denmark seemingly disappearing off into the distance as group winners. An away win over Austria seems unlikely given recent results, but Scotland have demonstrated a certain amount of grit and ability over the past 12 months, which will give them hope.
- 90'+5'Scotland scrape through a tougher test than they may have expected - though Steve Clarke did warn of Moldova's capabilities before the game kicked off - as they post a second win of their attempt to qualify for Qatar 2022. Both sides lacked composure in and around the area, but the hosts at least assured all three points thanks to Dykes' first-half goal, which gave them an advantage they would never relinquish. Moldova, meanwhile, remain without a win in Group F and are rooted to the bottom of the table on one point - seven behind the Scots, who now sit third.
- 90'+5'FULL-TIME: SCOTLAND 1-0 MOLDOVA
- 90'+4'Ionita's influence has faded since his booking, so Bordin throws on Clescenco for the final few seconds.
- 90'+4'Gordon plucks the ball cleanly out of the air from a hopeful cross by Reabciuk, surely ending Moldovan hopes of a late comeback.
- 90'+2'With two minutes of stoppage time remaining, the visitors are desperately trying to evade Scotland's attentions in the final third. They are just lacking a clinical final ball.
- 90'Roberto Bordin still has faith in his charges' ability to steal a point; imparting instructions and gesticulating, as his counterpart Steve Clarke stands impassively. Moldova have most of the ball now.
- 88'Ginsari has put in a good shift today, but is replaced by Spataru with time running out for Moldova to manufacture an equaliser.
- 86'Ionita - already on a booking - takes a chance by barging McLean to the turf. The resulting free-kick eventually finds Christie on the edge of the area, but the Bournemouth midfielder lifts his shot well over the bar. Scotland have certainly been profligate in front of goal today.
