Ewan Murray was at Hampden tonight. Here’s his verdict. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.

The other game in Group A1 finished Portugal 5-1 Poland. All of which means the table looks like this with one game left to play.

  1. Portugal P5 W4 D1 L0 F12 A4 Pts 13

  2. Croatia P5 W2 D1 L2 F7 A7 Pts 7

  3. Poland P5 W1 D1 L3 F8 A14 Pts 4

  4. Scotland P5 W1 D1 L3 F5 A7 Pts 4

Portugal have won the group. They advance to the quarter-finals, along with Croatia, who are guaranteed second place on account of better head-to-head results against Poland and Scotland. As things stand, Poland will be in the League A versus League B play-offs, while Scotland will be relegated to League B, but they’ll switch positions should the Scots win in Warsaw on Monday night. A draw will be no use to Scotland, given Poland’s 3-2 win at Hampden back in September.
