Half-Time Report: Scotland losing in Georgia

Scotland find themselves 1-0 down at the break in their Euro 2016 qualifier away to Georgia.

Valeri Kazaishvili's goal has given Georgia a narrow half-time lead against Scotland in their Euro 2016 qualifier in Tbilisi.

The visitors looked sharp during the early stages, but it was Georgia who had the first chance when Kazaishvili lashed an effort wide.

Scotland continued to dominate possession for the remainder of the half, though they struggled to create clear-cut opportunities in the final third.

The likes of Steven Naismith, Steven Fletcher and Andrew Robertson were all lively in wide positions, though the quality of their crossing was lacking.

Robertson managed to whip an incisive ball into the box on 29 minutes that Fletcher was inches away from getting on the end of as Scotland threatened to take the lead.

Gordon Strachan's side were worried moments later, but Charlie Mulgrew came to the rescue after Ikechi Anya had failed to deal with a Georgia cross.

The game's opening goal arrived on 38 minutes as Georgia struck to go ahead. A chipped ball into the box was headed down by Levan Mchedlidze before Kazaishvili pounced to hit a low drive past David Marshall.
