And with that, I’m going to check out. Here’s the Scotland 1-2 Slovenia match report again. Bye!

Andy Robertson reflects on Scotland’s defeat:

Not good enough. Whole team on the pitch. I don’t think it was a good performance at all. Maybe in certain parts we did OK, but we didn’t do the good things we did on Saturday. I don’t know what that was down to. So it was difficult. We have to find the reasons why we weren’t there.

We really wanted to kick on from Saturday because we had a really positive feeling about where we were going, but we didn’t follow that up today. They looked a lot fresher, a lot better and a lot more hungry. I don’t think people accept when you’ve been outfought and that’s what happened tonight.

Here’s David Hytner’s report on England’s victory over Czechia:

It was a night that belonged to Harry Kane. Yet another one. It began with him being shown a replay of his first England goal during a pre-match interview with ITV – the header against Lithuania in 2015, just 79 seconds after he came on as a substitute for his debut. It ended with him reflecting on two more in what was a supremely comfortable Nations League victory over Czechia. Some things never change.

It remains a numbers game for Kane. They are getting bigger and ever more impressive. On the occasion of his 125th cap, the one that took him level with Peter Shilton at the top of the all-time England list, he moved to an astonishing 91 goals. Nobody will be surprised if he reaches the century. The only question appears to be when.

Ewan Murray has filed his match report from Hampden Park, and here it is:

This now constitutes a rocky start for Sébastien Pocognoli as Scotland’s manager.

The claiming of four points from three Nations League games was adequate until Slovenia inflicted this defeat. It was the abject nature of Scotland’s display this time that was so stark. Pocognoli’s team were comprehensively outplayed by a side who themselves are no better than functional.

November feels significant for Pocognoli. Put simply, Slovenia met a Scotland who were far, far too easy to play against. Pocognoli has to prove this is the dawn of a new era as opposed to the beginning of an error.

Much more here:

Scotland’s future looks less rosy. They host North Macedonia and visit Switzerland in November while Slovenia have the opposite fixtures, hosting the Swiss and travelling to Skopje. But this win is huge for the group, with head-to-head record the first method of deciding teams tied at the end of it.

1. Switzerland P4 W4 GD+10 Pts 12
2. Slovenia P4 W2 GD+2 Pts 7
3. Scotland P4 W1 GD-2 Pts 4
4. North Macedonia P4 W0 GD-10 Pts 0

Spain have now officially qualified for the Nations League quarter-finals, and England need only to dot a few i’s and cross the odd t to join them, Group A3 looking as it does like this:

1. Spain P4 GD+7 Pts 12
2. England P4 GD+11 Pts 9
3. Croatia P4 GD-10 Pts 3
4. Czechia P4 GD-8 Pts 0

9.39pm: Only one game is still ongoing, and in that one Albania have scored a 93rd-minute penalty to steal a 2-1 lead against San Marino.

9.37pm: They’re into the last of three advertised minutes of stoppage time in Glasgow.

9.35pm: The final whistle has gone at Wembley, where England have wrapped up a 3-0 win.

9.34pm: Scotland win a free-kick, 10 yards outside the penalty area. Gilmour gets it over the wall well enough, but it also goes also over the crossbar.

9.32pm: They’re into stoppage time in Split, and are going to have about four minutes of it. Still a couple of minutes of normal time remaining in Glasgow.

9.25pm: In the other game in Scotland’s group Switzerland are now 3-0 up against North Macedonia. Ndoye has scored it, and surely the Swiss side’s 100% record in this Nations League is going to be extended to four games.

9.24pm: Chance for Scotland! McPake sends in a low cross from the left, Bowie takes one touch and then sends it goalwards, but it doesn’t have the venom to beat Oblak.

9.22pm: McPake bursts into the penalty area from the left and goes down, but the referee doesn’t see a foul. Karnicnik did seem to make contact, but McPake probably slowed down to make it happen, and it might not have been inside the area.

9.20pm: Talking of self-destruction, Spain have handed Croatia another brilliant chance! Zubimendi tries to find Cubarsi in his own penalty area but misses him, and Perisic blatters a shot goalwards, but it’s too close to Unai Simon!

9.18pm: A couple more substitutions for the Scots, who bring on Josh McPake and Findlay Curtis, taking off Christie and Gannon-Doak. They just need to go a few minutes without threatening to self-destruct and take it from there.

9.14pm: Slovenia have a goal disallowed for offside! The ball is nodded on to Matko, who slides it under Gunn and into the net, but he was indeed behind the last defender as it was headed towards him. Still, Scotland are reeling here.

9.12pm: San Marino have scored an equaliser in Tirana! Lorenzo Lazzari with the goal!

9.10pm: A double change for Scotland. McBurnie and Welsh are going off, Hickey and Bowie are coming on.

9.05pm: Slovenia rip Scotland apart down the left again. This time Sturm rolls a pass along the edge of the Scottish penalty area, which two teammates are approaching unaccompanied, but Zabukovnik’s first-time shot isn’t great and hits a defender.

9.03pm: What a miss! Vipotnik is played into all sorts of space on Slovenia’s left, gallops into the area and, with only Gunn to beat, curls a shot well over the bar!

9pm: Harry Kane has gone and scored yet another goal. England lead Czechia 3-0 and any moment now Scott Murray will tell you how it happened:

8.59pm: Slovenia’s David Sec is booked for giving McGinn’s shirt a healthy tug.

8.58pm: Spain appear to have received something of a rocket at the interval, and they come close again: Yamal’s lovely, dipping cross from the right zings into the area, Olmo throws himself at it, and he doesn’t quite get there.

8.56pm: Save! Gannon-Doak ignores McBurnie and instead passes to Christie, on the left of Slovenia’s penalty area, but the pass forces him a bit wide and Oblak makes a fairly routine save from the ensuing shot.

8.54pm: Yamal is played through by Spain, runs into the area, nudges the ball past the keeper and goes down theatrically in search of a penalty. He doesn’t get one, though, but he doesn’t get a yellow card either.

8.50pm: The Scotland game is also back under way, this one with no half-timely changes for either side.

8.47pm: Peeeep! Spain have kicked off the second half. Mikel Marino has come on at the break, with Alex Baena making way.

Cristiano Ronaldo has accused Portugal coach Jorge Jesus of twice breaking his word, saying a failed agreement to publicly explain ⁠his omission against Norway drove him out of the camp. This just in from Reuters:

In a lengthy statement, the 41-year-old gave his ⁠account of the dispute ⁠that prompted his ​departure from Copenhagen before Portugal’s Nations League match versus Denmark last week.

Ronaldo said Jesus had agreed a plan under which the forward would ⁠miss the Norway and Denmark matches to manage his fitness. However, on the day of the Norway game, the coach told him he would play for 30 ⁠minutes.

“Everyone knows the rest. I warmed up from halftime onwards, watched the minutes tick by and wasn’t called ​on,” Ronaldo said.

“The manager had broken his ‌word to me.“

8.28pm: Spain give the ball away in their penalty area again, this time a poor clearance from Cubarsi, but the defender gets out quickly to block Perisic’s shot.

8.26pm: What a block! Vipotnik is played in for Slovenia, looks up and only Gunn is between him and goal. He picks his spot, sidefoots goalwards and, at that precise moment, Robertson appears from nowhere, sliding in from the far side of goal, and deflects the ball to safety!

8.23pm: Bulgaria have doubled their lead in Luxembourg, and are thus 2-0 up and make that the first Nations League game of the evening to feature more than a single goal (only Switzerland v North Macedonia has had no goals at all).

8.21pm: Oh Leicester, you were great once. Tonight, though, they’re 2-0 down to Stevenage in the EFL Trophy.

8.15pm: We still await a first shot on target in Glasgow. We have had a first yellow card, though: Janza has been booked for a foul on Gannon-Doak, as booky a booking as you’ll ever see.

8.10pm: Tottenham’s Mathys Tel has completed a hat-trick for France’s Under-21s against their Swiss counterparts. The French are currently 5-1 up.

8.08pm: Croatia have a chance of a second! Simon passes to Laporte inside the area, and the defender’s poor control gives it straight to an attacker, who squares to Matanovic, who turns and scuffs a shot that Simon saves.

8.07pm: 20-year-old winger Kristiyan Balov has put Bulgaria ahead in Luxembourg.

8.05pm: San Marino are not having a great time in Tirana: 18 minutes in and they haven’t had anything that Uefa’s statisticians classify as an “attack” while Albania have had eight, turned them into seven shots and they’ve now converted one of those, Asllani with the goal.

8pm: Goal-saving clearance from Scotland! Slovenia slice them open, Cerin’s shot beats Gunn, but it’s not very powerful and Hendry gets in the way.

7.59pm: Save! Unai Simon is called into action in Split, after Perisic’s left-wing cross picks out Stanislic, whose header was goalbound until Simon got in the way.

7.58pm: Slovenia have had the brighter start at Hampden Park, though they’ve done little with their handful of attacking opportunities. Scotland have just hacked a corner clear.

7.54pm: The night’s second goal comes in Chisinau, where David Strelec has given Slovakia a 1-0 lead against Moldova in the eighth minute.

7.51pm: I am attempting to watch both Scotland v Slovenia and Croatia v Spain, the issue being that both involve a team in white shirts, shorts and socks playing another in dark blue shirt, shorts and socks. Anyway, a Slovenian attack is curtailed because of a push.

7.48pm: Quite a nice move from the Scots end with McGinn having space to shoot from the edge of the area, but there was a defender in front of him and that’s what he hit.

Peeeep! The first games have kicked off! They seem to be running a bit behind schedule in Scotland, mind.

Before kick-off, a presentation for Andy Robertson on the occasion of his 100th cap, with Steve Clarke, Alex McLeish and Gordon Strachan on hand to give him a framed shirt.

Sebastien Pocognoli has a chat ahead of Scotland’s game against Slovenia:

It’s a good team. They play as a collective block. It will be a good opposition today and we need to be ready and at our best. We’re trying to rotate. We expect if we are good on the ball to play against a low block. We need some creative players to play in between the lines and Ryan [Christie] had a good camp so far.

Don’t mind me, I’m just engrossed in the hunt for evidence of guano deposits in the area around Alnmouth, which is how BBC2 is treating anyone who’s turned on early for the Scotland game.

Russia v Nigeria submits an early claim to the game-of-the-day award: Nigeria 1-0 up after 10 minutes, Russia 3-1 up after 54, Akor Adams with an equaliser in the fourth minute of stoppage time, 3-3. Obviously I haven’t actually watched a single minute of the game and it might have been a terrifically dull six-goal non-thriller, but the scoreline reads very nicely.

Harry Kane is England’s starting line-up against Czechia, bringing him level with Peter Shilton on 125 caps for his country. Scott Murray is all over this one here:

Spain can seal quarter-final qualification if they beat Croatia today (and if England don’t lose to the Czechs), a task that as England demonstrated over the weekend is probably within their capabilities. Here’s Luka Modric’s reaction to that defeat and hopes for tonight’s game:

Losing isn’t the problem, but the way we lost is. I hope the fans will cheer us on as always and that, after the match, they can judge how we played. That’s what we need, so we’re hoping for a positive reaction because what happened hurts us more than anyone.

Spain is the best team in the world. They’re the champions. I don’t know how Spain is going to interpret our defeat ... [but] what happened isn’t typical for our team, we all know that. Against the best team in the world, we have to fix everything, be aggressive, and not give them too much space to find solutions.
