Not a great performance against Japan. A better performance tonight as we try to build momentum towards the World Cup.

Scotland had more shots (14-12) and more shots on target (4-3) but Ivory Coast twice went close to adding to their tally late in the game and Scotland didn't create one clear chance.

Lots for Steve Clarke to ponder as Scotland fail to score for the second game running.

The game was certainly livelier than Saturday's drab defeat to Japan but it was all a bit one dimensional, lumping in cross after cross in the second half.

A lovely clip to the back post from Andy Robertson and it's defended really well.

Scotland are still trying to make something happen but there's a lack of guile as yet another cross is headed away.

Another close shave for the Scottish defence as Simon Adringa clips the outside of the post with a shot from 18 yards.

That's a magnificent save.

He's had nothing to do, but as a goalkeeper you need to be ready.

Scott Bain to the rescue!

The Falkirk keeper hasn't had much to do since coming on at half-time but now he has to react sharply to tip away a fierce dig from Amad Diallo.

Scotland's best moment of the night by a mile as John McGinn finds Andy Robertson with a sublime cross-field pass.

Robertson loops it back to Tommy Conway, who chest the ball down and flops to the turf after the slightest of touches.

Never a penalty.

I thought McGinn was going to shoot, but it's the right option to pass.

It would be nice if Scotland can finish with a flurry of chances.

John McGinn dips a shoulder and feigns a shot before slipping in Andy Robertson. The Scotland skipper can only thump the ball against a covering defender though.

Tommy Conway tries to find Lyndon Dykes in front of goal but the low pass is cut out.

The last touch on an Andy Robertson free-kick comes from an Ivory Coast defender. The ball sails narrowly wide, but there's an offside given against John Souttar.

That's 50 caps for Lyndon Dykes...

Can the big bruiser mark the occasion with a goal?

Scotland swap the front two.

Lyndon Dykes and Tommy Conway are on for George Hirst and Che Adams.

Hirst has probably been the best player in dark blue this evening.

George Hirst gets a deft flick on a John McGinn corner but a combination of the goalkeeper and two defenders keep the ball out at the near post.

Japan are on course for a UK double as they lead England 1-0 at Wembley thanks to Kaoru Mitoma.

It's been better [than against Japan].

There's been a greater emphasis on getting the ball forward, but Ivory Coast have shown they are a good side.

Scotland send up the big men for a corner but here come Ivory Coast streaming forward on the counter... Nathan Patterson is sitting very deep in his own half and it works out nicely as he is well positioned to intercept a poor touch.
