McTominay strike after lucky VAR call leaves Scot's two wins from World Cup finals spot
IF Scotland do indeed end their World Cup exile then few will remember it took an unconvincing win against Group C whipping boys Belarus to help get them there.
But if they are to play on the world stage for the first time since 1998, they will need performances light years ahead of this display if their involvement in next summer's tournament is not to end with yet another group stage exit.
On a night when Steve Clarke took charge of the national side for a record-breaking 72nd time, striker Che Adams fired the home team ahead after 15 minutes to give the Scots the interval lead.
Carlos Alos' side had a goal disallowed in the second half for a soft foul on Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay in the build-up, before the Napoli star struck in the 84th minute with a finish from 10 yards.
