95 mins McTominay has an effort saved by Allison again, and Brazil come forward but their attempt is blocked Scotland 0-3 Brazil

6 mins added on to this torture

85 mins Gabriel has a shot blocked, this could have been a cricket score in all reality Scotland 0-3 Brazil

72 mins McTominay's shot from 6 yards spins over the bar, Neymar is waiting to come for Brazil Scotland 0-3 Brazil

69 mins the Brazil fans are celebrating and this last 20 mins are going to be brutal for Scotland, they need to get a goal or two back to give themselves a chance otherwise it is surely the end of their World Cup Scotland 0-3 Brazil

64 mins McTominay's header saved by Allison low to his right Scotland 0-3 Brazil

63 mins corner to Scotland Scotland 0-3 Brazil

62 mins terrible foul by Danilo on Tierney, Scotland free kick on the edge of the box from the left  Scotland 0-3 Brazil

60 mins MATHEUS CUNHA SLIDES IN NUMBER THREE, AND THIS IS BECOMING A HAMMERING NOW, APPALLING DEFENDING ONCE AGAIN Scotland 0-3 Brazil SCOTLAND ARE ON THE VERGE OF ELIMINATION SURELY BUT WE WILL SEE, 10 GROUPS LEFT TO COMPLETE THEIR SCHEDULES BUT IT LOOKS LIKELY THE DREAM IS OVER YET AGAIN

55 mins nice flick from McLean but Shankland cannot make an impact, better from Scotland, but in the main the passing is far too slow Scotland 0-2 Brazil

51 mins a defence splitting pass from Cunha and Vinicius Jr's stabbed shot is saved by Gunn, should have been game over Scotland 0-2 Brazil

47 mins It has been such a comfortable game for Gabriel and Marquinhos, that needs to change if Scotland are going to get back into this game Scotland 0-2 Brazil

45 mins Kieran Tierney has replaced Captain Andy Robertson, a big blow for Scotland if he is injured, but Kieran is more than capable of replacing him  Scotland 0-2 Brazil

HALF-TIME SCOTLAND 0-2 BRAZIL

Scotland's World Cup hopes are hanging by a thread, and they are lucky that head to head decides a tie on points because Haiti have been ahead twice against Morocco. Scotland have been allowed to keep the ball by Brazil, and they have caught Scotland at every opportunity when they make a mistake. Virtually no efforts on goal, none on target. Scotland's big players have not shown up again, McTominay has been woeful.

50 mins Beautiful Brazil move, and Rayan's shot is saved by Gunn, corner to Brazil  Scotland 0-2 Brazil

48 mins VINICIUS JR HEADS IN FROM GUIMARAES CROSS, AND BRAZIL TAKE A 2-0 LEAD, MEN AGAINST BOYS.  Scotland 0-2 Brazil

44 mins Scotland escape, Ferguson clears Cunha's effort off the line  Scotland 0-1 Brazil

41 mins Cunha curls well wide, Brazil are offering a weird performance.  Scotland 0-1 Brazil

37 mins Scott McTominay loses the ball in midfield and Brazil come forward, Rayan shoots wide but the Napoli one must improve

35 mins Scotland being much more positive here

32 mins Lewis Ferguson has a shot from long range, deflects for a corner, Scotland's first shot, their third corner  Scotland 0-1 Brazil

30 mins Brazil's strategy is a peculiar one, they are just letting Scotland have the ball, and anticipating their mistakes, if Scotland can show bravery they can get back into this game  Scotland 0-1 Brazil

29 mins Corner to Scotland, rejoice!  Scotland 0-1 Brazil

24 mins Scotland have got away with that, no doubt, it is a foul by Vinicius Jr but the way Scotland are defending they will get another chance pretty soon  Scotland 0-1 Brazil

VAR - GOAL DISALLOWED FOR A FOUL BY VINICIUS JR ON JACK HENRY  Scotland 0-1 Brazil

22 mins GOODNESS ME, YET ANOTHER CATASTROPHIC DEFENSIVE ERROR, AND VINICIUS JR SLIDES THE BALL PAST ANGUS GUNN FOR AN EASY SECOND. CAPITULATION.  Scotland 0-2 Brazil

20 mins Scott McTominay has had a stinker of a tournament so far, he hasn't turned up Scotland 0-1 Brazil

16 mins Scotland have had near 60% of the ball but not a single effort at goal, Brazil can do this all night if Scotland don't threaten them in behind Scotland 0-1 Brazil

13 mins Scotland have had good possession but they need to be braver to go at Brazil, Brazil now having more of the ball and they know they don't need to do much to penetrate the Scottish defence Scotland 0-1 Brazil

7 mins first decent move by Brazil but Casemiro's shot is blocked and Scotland keep the ball BUT OH NO! A catastrophic mistake at the back and VINICIUS JR has an open goal and it is one nil to Brazil DISASTER AGAIN AT THE BACK! A shocker of epic proportions from Scott McKenna, who's clearance is blocked and it falls straight to Vinicius Jr Scotland 0-1 Brazil

3 mins a really composed start by Scotland, much better than against Morocco, yet to threaten the Brazil penalty area though

1 mins you can hear the Bagpipes, Scotland start on the front foot, confidently passing the ball about in the Brazil half

Scotland kick off, come on Scotland!

2300 BST Here we go then, let us hope for the best and not fear the worst, Scotland can do this

2251 BST The teams are in the tunnel, it is time. Scotland v Brazil.

2248 BST WOW Hard Rock Stadium looks remarkable with a sea of Blue and a sea of Yellow, the atmosphere is absolutely remarkable, and the scene is set for a truly historic occasion

2245 BST NOT LONG UNTIL THE NATIONAL ANTHEM NOW! Soak this in from 2007!

2240 BST Threats of storms, high humidity, spots of rain, this could be a 3am finish if we get the kind of the delay which affected France v Iraq

2231 BST If Scotland were to win tonight it would be the most famous moment in the history of Scottish Football since Celtic won the 1967 European Cup

2224 BST Scotland have to be brave on the ball tonight, get in to position and have a shot at goal, early. Give something for Brazil to think about.

2225 BST No wins in 10 games against Brazil for Scotland, but this Brazil does not compare to the ones which Scotland have played in the past.

2215 BST This is a positive lineup selected by Steve Clarke, learning from past failures at this level. If Scotland's big players turn up they have a genuine chance of winning this game

2210 BST Welcome to the biggest night in the history of Scottish Football.

Scotland are on the precipice of qualifying for the knockout stages of a major tournament for the very first time, and it is a final group game against the record 5-time World Champions Brazil in Miami.

A draw will almost certainly see it done for Scotland, a narrow defeat is likely to be enough too. A win would be beyond everyone's wildest dreams, but could see Scotland win the group.
