Result: Liechtenstein 0-1 Scotland

Scotland have kept their Euro 2012 qualification hopes alive with a 1-0 win in Liechtenstein.

The only goal of the game came after 33 minutes when Brighton striker Craig Mackail-Smith looped a header into the hosts' net from Phil Bardsley hanging ball.

Despite a number of chances in the first half, neither side lit up the tie after the interval as Craig Levein's side held out for the three points.

The victory means that Scotland will need to match or better the Czech Republic's score against Lithuania when they take on world champions Spain on Tuesday to secure a playoff place.
