Overview
- Che Adams opened the scoring before Scott McTominay made it 2-0 in the 84th minute, with Hleb Kuchko netting late to set up a nervy 2-1 finish.
- Belarus had a second-half equaliser disallowed for a foul on McTominay as Scotland struggled to control the game at Hampden.
- The result guarantees a top-two finish and at least a play-off, with a draw in Greece on 15 November setting up a final-day meeting with Denmark for top spot in Glasgow.
- Steve Clarke called the performance “possibly” his most disappointing in 72 games, and John McGinn described a “wild” half-time dressing-down.
- Sections of the home support booed at full time, a reaction Che Adams said was fair, while Anthony Ralston stressed the squad are “two games off our goal.”
