Goals from Nathan Patterson and Che Adams saw Scotland beat Moldova 2-0 to earn Steve Clarke’s side a place in the play-offs for the 2022 World Cup.
Patterson gave the visitors a crucial lead seven minutes before half-time, before Adams doubled their advantage with a simple far-post finish after 65 minutes.
The visitors still needed to rely on goalkeeper Craig Gordon, who saved Vadim Rata’s VAR-awarded penalty eight minutes from time, to avoid a nervy finish at the Zimbru Stadium.
Scotland’s win means they are guaranteed to finish second in Group F and with it a place in March’s play-offs, where they will be seeded if they beat group-winners Denmark at home in their final qualifier on Monday night.
