Scotland losing 2-0 after 23 minutes in their must-win game at home to Belgium.

Davy Propper starts for the Netherlands against Estonia (please don't get injured, Davy).

Oops. Make that three down with 31 minutes on the clock, and the Belgians in the away end are loudly singing "Please don't take me home" to the Tartan Army

3-0 down now, they’ve got it all to do in this must win game. Davy Provan bemoaning the Scots bad luck.

This saddens me... where's the fun to be had mocking them for this result? Roll on a hammering by Cyprus or San Marino...

He wants to be celebrating their good luck: they could be six down already.

True. Imagine how embarrassing that would be.

For San Marino, I mean. Losing to Scotland.

NI are giving the Germans a proper game. They look really sharp.

Not sure I really get their team selection. Ryan Fraser and John McGinn are decent Premier League players. But Steve Clarke is playing Robert Snodgrass (years past his best), Kenny McLean (Norwich fringe player) and Matt Phillips (a pretty average Championship player) while McGinn and Fraser sit on the bench. There is a sprinkling of talent there (alongside Andy Robertson), but the rest are just abysmal.

Excellent yellow card for diving for the Scotch full back just now, by the way

In other international news, Mr Krabappel is watching his beloved Wales on the iPad. I just heard an exasperated grunt from his direction, followed by a loud "****ing hell. Jonny Williams is just shit, isn't he?".

That must be a different Jonny Williams to the former Real Madrid & Barcelona target we once knew as Joniesta, surely.

In tonight's least surprising news, Scott McTominay- who was already on a yellow card prior to this game- gets another yellow card, meaning he'll now miss what will be an entirely meaningless trip to Moscow for their next "qualifier" in October.

Fergie would have been proud.
