Scotland v Georgia tomorrow. Let's hope we can keep up our good form and get the 3 points. We certainly don't want to drop any points at home.

The SFA have messed up with ticket prices. On SSN it said tickets on sale until kick off so there are still thousands left.

How many tickets have been sold and why did the sfa think they could get away with the prices charged

Yeah, I was going to go but it seems a ticket is about £45. I can't justify that.

This one has a hint of a potential banana skin about it. Georgia don't win many matches but don't concede many goals either. Scotland dropping two points here would be a big psychological blow, having lost their opener.

That's not right, Scotland and Georgia have only played two matches against each other in their history (one win, one defeat)......have STV completely mixed them up with someone else?

Unless STV are counting club games though I don't remember many Georgian clubs playing here.

Do think this game is huge we need to win to stay with the leading teams in the group.

Draw and you can probably forget it already.

We should win hopefully but I am trying to think of the last game we did when it mattered its a while ago

Scotland seem to have the same problem as the Republic : play really well against the big boys but struggle to break down the lesser nations at home. The way the fixtures have panned out hasn't really favoured Scotland......if they were to drop two points today, they'd really be up against it in this group.

Looks like Scotland have dominated from the stats though and are good value for the lead.

The Republic have played really well against Gibraltar (3-0 HT).....some lovely passing football and haven't struggled to break them down at all.

A comedy goal in the Irish match as well : the Gibraltarian keeper scores against Gibraltar

Anyone ?

Seems very strange doesn't it perhaps the players weren't informed till the last minute.

We need second we always have difficulty in these games

I do think we will know next month how good a chance of qualifying we have.

My one fear is that I don't think our forwards are good enough against decent opposition

Ireland running riot against Gibraltar

Ireland gone into a goalscoring frenzy (7-0)......they're up against an unbelievably weak team of course, but they've played lovely football throughout.

Interesting we have a payday loan company being flashed around the advertising boards at ibrox.

Suppose the sfa can't be choosy as to whose money they take

A wins a win 3 points thankfully onwards to poland which will be difficult.

Not sure how many points we would need in this but we may need as much as 20 to get top 2.

Twelve v Georgia and Gibraltar and probably eight from Ireland and poland

Poland - Germany 0-0 at HT.

Germany have had all the chances.....Poland have created very little.

Poland take the lead! Against the run of play it has to be said......the German keeper came for a cross and missed it

I think a win for Germany would be better for Scotland and Ireland. The lead definitely flatters Poland......they've competed well enough but Germany has had nearly all the chances.

A win for Poland would be really bad news for Ireland on Tuesday of course. Germany are hardly going to lose two qualifiers on the trot - I've a feeling they'll get something out of this match though.....they never seem to lose to anyone in qualifiers.

That's really set the cat among the pigeons! Still, everything to play for for the top four teams in the group.
