Good evening and welcome to tonight's live coverage of Scotland's opening Euro 2012 qualifier with Lithuania in Kaunas.

Robson earns a corner from Kijanskas's challenge.

Decent burst forward by Hutton, but he just carried that too far. It was that sort of run that earned Hutton a £9million switch to Spurs a few years ago.

The pitch looks in decent nick. Scotland seemed to have settled better than the home side. Whittaker fouled by Cesnauskis.

Mikoliunas late on Hutton. Bit of needle between those two from the SPL.

Decent move by the Scots. Enjoying some possession after snuffing out a foray forward by the home side.

Scrappy stuff, but Scotland almost take the lead. Naismith supplies Brown, but the Celtic skipper misses the ball attempting a shot. Was a decent chance from 10 yards out or so.

Mikoliunas, the former Hearts man, is penalised for a foul on Hutton.

Skerla lucky to avoid a yellow card for a late one on Barry Robson. Really hefty tackle on the Middlesbrough midfielder. It is half past nine over in Lithuania. Late start for this one.

Miller fouls Marius Stankevicius. Cesnauskis hammers in a shot, but that is blocked.

Scotland on the ball. Tight little ground. Naismith tries to find Miller, but too much pace on that.

David Weir becomes the oldest man to play for Scotland. He is 40, but the Rangers skipper is needed out there tonight. Alan Hutton in at right-back despite missing regular action with Spurs.

Lithuania to get us under way. The home side in yellow shirts, Scotland in traditional dark blue.

Remember you can keep up to date with all the scores from tonight's Euro 2012 qualifying games around Europe.

The teams heading on to the pitch. Scotland have around half of the 8,000 fans in for this match.

Scotland lost in Macedonia two years ago in their opening match of the World Cup qualifiers. They realise the importance of this match. Steven Naismith has been preferred to James McFadden to keep things tight.

Lithuania have a couple of former Scottish Premier League players in their side. Former Dunfermline defender Andrius Skerla starts along with former Hearts man Saulius Mikoliunas. They will be a 4-4-2 with Scotland probably 4-5-1 with Lee McCulloch dropping a bit deeper to protect Weir and McManus at the back.

Scotland are in Group I for this campaign with Spain, Czech Republic, Lithuania and Liechtenstein.

Keep any intelligent comments coming and we'll try to get them up. "Come on Scotland. Try not to embarrass us tonight!," says Greg Magee.

"It is important we work really hard tonight," says Levein. "We really want to win this match."

The referee is Cuneyt Cakir of Turkey.

Tonight's teams: Lithuania: Karcemarskas, Stankevicius, Skerla, Radavicius, Kijanskas, Semberas, Panka, Edgaras Cesnauskis, Mikoliunas, Danilevicius, Sernas Scotland: McGregor, Hutton, Weir, McManus, Whittaker, Darren Fletcher, McCulloch, Brown, Robson, Miller, Naismith
