90+3'
Full time! Two home draws in their first two qualifiers. Scotland showed some glimmers of quality in this match but the result adds to the deflated feeling amongst the Scottish. Where do you think Scotland go from here? Let me know on Twitter - @liamhappe
90+2'
Noveski is forced to put the ball behind again. Late Scotland corner but it's punched clear by Bogatinov.
90+1'
Pandev runs at the back line but an excellent challenge from Berra to deny him.
90'
We're going to have three minutes more here. Can Scotland snatch a winner?
89'
Ibraimi makes way for Darko Tasevski in the final change of the match.
88'
Hasani squares to Pandev! McGregor saves again!
86'
Georgievski concedes a corner but claims a shove by Dixon to force it... and he was right. Free-kick.
85'
England have finally levelled, Lampard from the spot after a handball. Northern Ireland finished at 1-1 with Luxembourg.
84'
Ivanovski is in space in the box at an angle but pulls back and cannot find a pass to make. Needed more support there.
82'
Another Scotland corner and a gift of one at that but Naismith's header from the flag kick is saved.
81'
The free-kick leads to a corner and Bodatinov is ruled to have been fouled as he punches it away.
80'
Hutton bursts through on the right and is pulled back by Hasini, who probably would have been booked if he wasn't already.
79'
Forrest is brought down by Sumulikoski in a cynical challenge to prevent the midfielder taking advantage of space in the middle. That gets him an easy booking.
78'
Steven Naismith replaces Mackie. That's their final sub.
77'
Good early ball from Forrest on the right and Rhodes goes for the far-post diving header again... but he is unable to time this one as well.
76'
McGregor makes a decent catch from Popov's header at a corner.
75'
Good open back-and-forth game this after a dour opening 25 minutes.
73'
Across the Isles, Serbia have thumped Wales 6-1 in this group (A). England are trailing Ukraine 1-0 with 15 minutes left and Northern Ireland have been pegged back to 1-1 late on at home to Luxembourg. Not a good night to be British. But then, we've had plenty of good'uns lately...
72'
Pandev puts Ivanovski clean through! Ibraimi is there for a tap-in but whether Ivanovski was going for a goal or the square pass, McGregor gets a leg to it! Fantastic save!
71'
Berra and Adam play some neat short passes to get Scotland out of danger.
