SCOTLAND’S nine-match unbeaten run came to an end with a 1-0 defeat against fellow Euro 2020 qualifiers Slovakia.

A deflected long-range first-half effort from Jan Gregus prevented a much-changed Scotland side from equalling their longest run without defeat since 1927.

A Scotland win would have secured top spot in Nations League Group B2 — and potentially one of two World Cup play-off places on offer from the competition.
