5 talking points as Scotland swerve Hampden washout amid Georgia moans in Euro 2024 giant leap forward

Scotland became history makers as goals from Callum McGregor and Scott McTominay sunk Georgia and secured four opening campaign wins for the first time ever.

Steve Clarke's side are now within touching distance of an automatic place at the Euro Finals in Germany next year with another emphatic Hampden performance to cement their place at the Group A summit. A torrential pre-match downpour made for a farcical opening with the ball holding up in puddles - it wasn't to deter Scotland from getting off the mark through McGregor's sixth minute strike.

A corner from the right fell for the Scotland skipper to drill a low shot past the unsighted Georgian keeper Giorgi Mamardashvilli but then referee Istvan Vad brought proceedings to an abrupt halt. The players were removed from the pitch and two inspections later the match restarted at 9.33pm and still it appeared the safety of the players couldn't be assured as they surged through puddles. In truth, it was a total farce as the away side then refused to come back out. No wonder, they were 1-0 down after all.
