90'
FULL TIME SCOTLAND 1-1 SWITZERLAND
That's that. What a game. So tense, tight, chaotic, and close. Both sides will feel they could have taken that. But Scotland were a changed side today compared to what we saw in Munich five days ago.
And of course, it would not be an international tournament without at least one wonder rocket from Shaqiri and we got that tonigtht.
It's only one point, but it keeps the hopes of qualification alive for Scotland, albeit slim.
92'
AKANJI DENIES SCOTLAND
McTominay had a tap-in set up for him and Akanji denies him after Robertson's head to the back post.
90'
ALMOST THE WINNER
Switzerland so close to grabbing the winner! A free kick is sent in and Zeki Amdouni's header bounces inches wide of the post.
Breathe.
We're into the four minutes of added time.
85'
FIVE MINUTES TO GO!
Just five to go including added time. A tense end to a crazy intense game.
Can one side nab a late winner?
83'
GOAL DISALLOWED!
Breel Embolo is caught offside after breaking in behind and dinking over Gunn.
It's disallowed but what a smooth finish it was.
Can feel a twist coming here...
81'
CHAOS
McTominay could have had his name in lights. The midfielder leathers a volley in the box and it's blocked by a body, but it looked destined to fire into the net.
But lord is getting chaotic.
77'
TIRING
Some tired legs out there for Scotland now.
Ndoye gets another chance and fizzes one over the bar, although he skipped past Ralston all too easily.
71'
YELLOW CARD
It's McGinn's turn to go into the book for a late challenge on Schar.

OFF THE POST!
Robertson fires a perfect ball into the box and Hanley meets it with his head but it hits the post. Switzerland jump on the rebound and fire it away but wow what a chance.
You can tell Scotland are up for this now.
61'
TIERNEY
The defender's game is done. His tournament is probably is too. That's devastating.
Scott McKenna is the man to replace him.

ALMOST! TIERNEY STRETCHERED OFF
Ndoye takes the ball from the air and beautifully spins past Kieran Tierney. He sommehow shoots wide.
But Tierney clutched his hamstring during that and on comes the stretcher. It doesn't look good for him. Poor guy cannot catch a break.
56'
VARGAS
Ruben Vargas fires a low shot at Gunn who gets down low to take it well. Both sets of fans are trying to drum up noise as the Flower of Scotland rings out around the stadium
55'
BETTER FROM SCOTLAND
Much better the start of this second period from Scotland compared to the end of the first. They've had the majority of possession and seem a bit calmer.

YELLOW CARD
McTominay gets a yellow card for, something? Presumably for the commplaining to the referee.
Akanji had jumped for the ball and fallen hard on the turf, although not on his head. The referee stops play much to the chagin of the Scottish contingent

HALF-TIME | SCOTLAND 1-1 SWITZERLAND
Wow. What a half. Scotland have been superb with Billy Gilmour running the show tonight.
But the Scots are shooting themselves in the foot and giving the ball to Switzerland far too easily. The likes of McGinn and Ralston are getting picked off and the Swiss are making them pay.
They did just that and Shaqiri punished him with a trademark rocket.
43'
SO QUICK
Even when Scotland get on top for moments, the Swiss are so quick and getting themselves to the other end of the pitch.
Shaqiri forces Gunn to make another save. Thankfully Scotland have the sharpness tonight that they lacked against Germany,
40'
CLOSE CHANCE
A brief moment of Scotland being back on top. They win a corner as Akanji heads behind.
The corner gets to the back post and Che Adams is there but Yann Sommer smothers to shut down a good chance.
