NEWS

⚽️ Words cannot do justice to just how bonkers Saturday evening was. As the clock hit 60 minutes in both games, Scotland were two down to Greece and at one point in the first half, could easily have been down three or four, and Denmark were beating Belarus 1-0 at home.

Fast forward three minutes, and it was 3-0 to Greece, but Belarus had equalised. Fast forward another two minutes, and it was 3-1 in Greece and 2-1 to Belarus.

By the end of 90 minutes, Scotland had pegged Greece back to 3-2, although they had enough chances to beat them in the end. Denmark could only equalise against Belarus to set up a mouth-watering evening in store at a sold-out Hampden tomorrow night.

To put the Denmark v Belarus result in context, Denmark put six past Belarus earlier in the campaign, and Greece beat them 5-1 at home too.
