  1. 90:00 +3:18That's it for today, Jose Sanchez has blown his whistle and the game is over.
  2. 90:00 +1:37Zan Celar (Slovenia) receives a yellow card from the referee for a foul that he committed a little earlier.
  3. 90:00We will have 3 min. of added time.
  4. 89:50Billy Gilmour (Scotland) unleashes a shot, but it just flies over the bar. The ball is off of the pitch and it's a goal kick for Slovenia.
  5. 89:46A free kick is awarded from a very dangerous distance. It's situated just a few metres from outside the box. Several players gather around the ball, but it seems like Billy Gilmour (Scotland) is going to have a crack himself.
  6. 88:52It is time for a substitution. Srdjan Kuzmic (Slovenia) is on for Aljosa Matko.
  7. 88:41Scotland are awarded the free kick. Jose Sanchez interrupts the game for a tactical foul by Jaka Bijol (Slovenia).
  8. 87:55Findlay Curtis (Scotland) crosses into the box from near the side line, but he doesn't connect as he wanted and it's cleared by the well-organized defence.
  9. 86:52Substitution. John McGinn is replaced by Robbie Ure (Scotland).
  10. 84:51The game has begun to heat up. Mark Zabukovnik (Slovenia) challenges an opponent and receives a deserved yellow card for his ugly tackle.
  11. 84:13Jose Sanchez blows his whistle as Kieron Bowie (Scotland) used excessive force in the tackle during an attack.
  12. 83:19Scotland keep possession of the ball with some short passes, waiting for the moment to hit the opposition swiftly on the break.
  13. 81:23The resulting set piece, sent into the penalty area by Andrew Robertson (Scotland), was easily dealt with by one of the defenders.
  14. 81:01Zan Karnicnik (Slovenia) makes a rough challenge and Jose Sanchez blows his whistle for a foul. Scotland win a free kick and will be able to apply some pressure on the opposition goal.
  15. 80:17Jan Oblak was forced into action to thwart Kieron Bowie (Scotland). He found himself some space after latching on to a pass and unleashed a shot to the bottom left corner but couldn't beat the keeper.

Preview

Scott McKenna's late red card had no impact on the result last time out as Scotland cruised to a 2-0 away win against a struggling North Macedonia side. That result was Sebastien Pocognoli's first win in charge, and the home side's first of the Nations League campaign.

Slovenia travel to Hampden Park looking to avenge a 2-1 away defeat to Switzerland, during which the visitors took a second-minute lead before capitulating before the break. Bostjan Cesar's side have won just one of their last five international fixtures.
