Scotland walk on water as squeegees save the day and we find out what's in Steve Clarke's satchel – Keith Jackson's big match verdict

Well, at least now we know what Steve Clarke carries around in his little coach's satchel.

Five loaves and a couple of fish. Just in case. Because, as if Scotland's manager has not performed enough miracles already, last night he sent out a team which recorded a fourth successive qualification win for the first time in the country's history.

If that wasn't enough, his players were seen walking on water in the process, emerging from a monsoon to wash Georgia away in a match which began at quarter to eight but did not end until going on midnight due to a series of delays caused by the deluge. When Georgia wonder boy Khvicha Kvaratskhelia missed a penalty in injury-time it had just gone 11.20pm. Rain had stopped play after only six minutes by which time Callum McGregor had already fired Clarke's men in front. And Scott McTominay got the second half off to a flyer too with a second goal to prove that not even the elements can get in the way of where Clarke is taking this team of ours. Which is Germany, by the way. In case you haven't noticed.
