Scotland 2 Georgia 0 as hazardous Hampden sees fourth straight Tartan Army win - 3 things we learned

Scotland battled to a 2-0 win over Georgia despite torrential rain threatening to derail the Tartan Army's Euro 2024 qualification campaign.

Torrential downpour at Hampden saw the game start regardless, but even a couple of minutes into the game, you could see that there would be problems. Angus Gunn was almost caught out twice with the ball sticking in the danger area a lot quicker than he anticipated. Even Aaron Hickey's jinking run saw him leave the ball behind as it stuck in the turf, but then Scotland scoring a corner - with Callum McGregor scoring from a knockdown - surprisingly had the Tartan Army 1-0 up.

But a VAR check had the result in doubt; not for the goal, but for the referee to liaise with other officials to see whether the game would be called off. After much deliberation from other players, the players were hauled off - with the game resuming exactly an hour after the goal.
