London, Nov 16, (PA Media/dpa/GNA) – Scotland lost 3-2 in Greece, but remain in the hunt for automatic qualification for the World Cup, following an extraordinary night of action in Group C, where Denmark could only draw with Belarus.
Steve Clarke’s Scots looked destined for the play-offs as they trailed 3-0 in a game, which they went into, knowing they almost certainly needed a draw at least.
Goals from Ben Gannon-Doak and Ryan Christie gave Scotland hope, and they threatened an equalizer on several occasions.
It turned out they did not need one, though, and head to a Hampden decider with Denmark on Tuesday, which Scotland must win to progress.
The Danes saw a one-goal lead over Belarus turned on its head in three second-half minutes, and the Tartan Army celebrated a 2-2 draw in Copenhagen, after an agonizing wait of several minutes following the final whistle in Piraeus.
