Rotten to rampant as Clarke's heroes put Greeks to sword

- BY GAVIN MCCAFFERTY

SCOTLAND picked themselves off the floor after a woeful hour at Hampden to produce a remarkable World Cup qualifying comeback win over Greece.

Steve Clarke's side were comprehensively outplayed before Kostas Tsimikas fired the visitors into a 62nd-minute lead.

But Ryan Christie levelled within two minutes following his own corner and Lewis Ferguson marked his 19th cap with his first goal for his country 10 minutes from time as Scotland capitalised on another set-piece.

Substitute Lyndon Dykes capped the comeback in stoppage-time as he pounced on a goalkeeping blunder as Scotland kept pace with Group C leaders Denmark.

Four points clear of the Greeks, Scotland can move out of sight on Sunday if they beat Belarus and Greece lose in Denmark.

There were some negatives as Christie and Ferguson picked up suspensions and Aaron Hickey, just back from 20 months out of first-team action, injured his hamstring.
