Great result for the Scots. Much more of the old jaggy thistle, fighting spirit!
Best player on the park? A toss-up between Kenny Miller and Darren Fletcher. These guys ran their socks off for the cause. Kenny trapped the ball on his chest as he drove through two or three defenders to volley home. Christian Dailly had earlier risen magnificently to head the opener from a Naysmith Corner. The Lithuania goal came on 84 minutes with a fantastic bycicle kick following a corner. Half- time 0-0. Full-time 1-2
The pitch was very poor. The result means 6 points from two games. Next match France at Hampden!

Yes, a good performance - I think we're starting to get the idea that "good enough" will do, and we were good enough - just. I was watching it in the pub, and when Lithuania scored their late goal, the mood was, "oh no, here we go again."
But what if it had been 1-1 and Scotland had scored with six minutes left? The place would have been going mental, even though the result was the same in the end.
I thought Miller was the victim of a very soft booking, which rules him out of the France match. Mind you, with France beating Italy as it stands (this posted at 20:55), that makes the Italians' situation very tricky. This group's going to be interesting...
