    Held on but not sure for how long, already looks like as expected three points to make up on poland and Ireland

    I suspect he didn't have the bottle to send him off

    Scotland have every right to be annoyed at the end. Reiss was down for the first 2 mins of injury time

    Very unlucky thought we held our own in the Scotland half.

    We have a decent hard working midfield although I would move on from darren fletcher as he offers little.

    We do however lack a clinical finishing forward which will be crucial in the other games as we still need to score more goals

    Only thing missing from that heroic defeat was a Gary Caldwell OG

    Excellent second half performance after being overwhelmed in the first half. Germany definitely deserved to win but it was a good showing by the Scots.

    I'd say you're ahead of where Ireland are at the moment based on this evening's Irish performance. Martin O'Neill is going to have to do some chopping and changing particularly in central midfield and on the left side of defence if his team is going to be competitive in this group.

    On a positive note I had 2-1 Germany @ 10/1, £5 on it. 10/1 ! stroll on. Rather adventurously I also had £3 on Scotland to win @ 12s just in case we shocked them. We can qualify from this group though, need to tighten up a bit in defence.

    Yes the second goal doesn't look too far away

    Tell us what players you'd have chosen instead and how there were too many English based players chosen instead.

    You love to complain about the selection so tell us the solution instead...........

    I notice you avoided my charity bet.....

    Great effort by Scotland. Could be very interesting between us, Poland and ROI for second place.

    Those three all have strengths and weaknesses....it's anyone's guess what will happen between them.

    Georgia away will not be easy - Ireland needed a sublime finish from McGeady to finish them off.

    Scotland made a game of it at least despite the poor refereeing, although the Germans looked barely out of first gear. The usual suspects in defence killed our chances of the draw but that's why I think we will struggle to qualify. Ireland and Poland are off to a flier and if Scotland don't beat Georgia it's almost game over already considering the next game after that is a tricky one in Poland.

    Yes, I watched the game in full yesterday. They're not an easy side to break down : they have some big strong guys at the back and they were clearing most of the stuff thrown at them with ease....I can see why they don't concede many goals in qualifiers.

    Mulgrew being suspended is good for Scotland . How he manages to continue to convince Manager's he can play in midfield amazes me.

    A hard game for Celtic tomorrow against Aberdeen but I'm confident of getting all 3 points after a rather lacklustre start to the league campaign.

    Hopefully a goal for Scepovic to get him off to a flying start.

    Well done The Sons on a great performance v Hearts ♥ today. Could have won the match too, late on.
    For a 0-0 it was a cracking game.

    Why couldn't Amido Balde do this for Celtic?

    Great strike.

    Aberdeen lodge complaint with the SFA over alleged racist incident involving Tonev and Shay Logan.
