On we go. .. Scotland 1-2 Iceland John Mc Ginn is down injured inside 60 seconds of the second half. Not good. Scotland 1-2 Iceland Scotland are unchanged. Daniel Leo Gretarsson has replaced Hordur Magnusson for Iceland. HT: Scotland 1-2 Iceland Lyndon Dykes Scotland striker on BBC Sportscene It's very tough but this is where it's going to show Slicker's character. You have tough times on the pitch he just needs to come back strong. This is where he can prove everybody wrong. Cieran Slicker replaced Angus Gunn after seven minutes at Hampden HT: Scotland 1-2 Iceland Will Steve Clarke make changes at the break? He can't be asking for more of the same. .. HT: Scotland 1-2 Iceland Willie Miller Former Aberdeen defender on BBC Sportsound The team have a lot of blame [to shoulder] in how they started the game in really, really down mode if you will. It's friendly, yes, but there are players out there with bags of experience. You've got to generate your own atmosphere here and give the fans something to cheer about, they had nothing to cheer about in the early stages. I think the second goal for Iceland is poor, poor defending. HT: Scotland 1-2 Iceland This video can not be played Iceland retake the lead through Lewis Ferguson own goal HT: Scotland 1-2 Iceland James Mc Fadden Former Scotland forward on BBC Scotland We're playing too many passes and not playing them with enough tempo. If there's an opening, play it into space. We've looked dangerous when we've got in behind. HT: Scotland 1-2 Iceland Lyndon Dykes Scotland striker on BBC Sportscene It's been poor. It's not what the boys would have wanted, but we just need to take off the handcuffs and put a bit more pressure on them. The second goal sums up the night. We've looked a bit all over the gaff. HT: Scotland 1-2 Iceland Scott Mullen BBC Scotland at Hampden Park Ach, it's only a friendly. Scotland 1-2 Iceland Lacklustre Scotland trail Iceland after a dismal 45 minutes at Hampden and they are booed off. Angus Gunn hobbled off inside the opening stages for the hosts and things haven't got any better from there. Work for Steve Clarke to do during the interval. Scotland 1-2 Iceland Scott Mullen BBC Scotland at Hampden Park While you could hear some murmuring at the first Iceland goal, booing is echoing around Hampden Park. Not just after that goal, but now a minute or so into the restart. As ever Steve Clarke stands unmoved, but this is a mile away from what the crowd would have been hoping for. Scotland 1-2 Iceland Willie Miller Former Aberdeen defender on BBC Sportsound There are so many bodies in front of Slicker, and it's a poor, poor header that ricochets off an Icelandic player. It comes off Ferguson last, I don't know if you can point at Slicker. It comes very unexpectedly off the boot of his own player. It's bouncing off players and bounces off Ferguson into the back of the net. I'm looking at the defenders, thinking that I want them to do better. Scotland 1-2 Iceland Steven Thompson Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportscene We do not deal with the first contact. You've got to defend these situations a lot better than that. Lewis Ferguson own-goal One of the scrappiest goals of all time? Cieran Slicker and the Scotland backline won't want to see this back. No-one deals with an Iceland corner and the ball ricochets off Lewis Ferguson and past Slicker's despairing dive. Groans and boos from the Hampden stands. This video can not be played Iceland retake the lead through Lewis Ferguson own goal Scotland 1-1 Iceland Another Max Johnston corner reaches Grant Hanley at the back post, but Scotland's centre-half heads well wide. Scotland 1-1 Iceland Iceland are more than happy to keep the ball in tight spots and their patient passing almost pays dividends. Mikael Egill Ellertsson gets in behind Max Johnston, but slips at the crucial moment. Scotland 1-1 Iceland This video can not be played John Souttar heads Scotland level against Iceland Scotland 1-1 Iceland Scott Mullen BBC Scotland at Hampden Park I'm not saying this has an end-of-season-affair feel about it, but the steward next to me has an inflatable unicorn tucked under his oxter. We've managed to drift our way to under 10 minutes until half-time, and it's been pretty bland stuff. The game stopping after two minutes should have been a sign we weren't in for a whirlwind encounter. *tempts fate in the hope of a Grant Hanley screamer from 80 yards* Scotland 1-1 Iceland Steven Thompson Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportscene The run from Andy Robertson is absolutely superb, he's just got to slide it along the six-yard box for George Hirst to tap it in. It's not a difficult one. Manager: Steve Clarke Formation: 5 - 4 - 1 Manager: Arnar Gunnlaugsson Formation: 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 Manager: Steve Clarke Formation: 5 - 4 - 1 Manager: Arnar Gunnlaugsson Formation: 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 Friendlies All competitions All competitions All competitions Scotland have won all six of their previous meetings with Iceland, only holding better 100%-win rates against Cyprus (9) and San Marino (8). This will be Iceland’s first visit to Hampden Park since a 2-1 defeat in World Cup qualifying in April 2009, with Steven Fletcher and Ross Mc Cormack scoring their first international goals for Scotland. Scotland have won just one of their last eight home games in all competitions (D3 L4), having won six in a row at Hampden Park prior.   Iceland have lost each of their last three games in all competitions, last losing more consecutively between October 2020 and March 2021 (7 in a row). Despite losing 3-0 last time out to Greece, Scotland have won three of their last four matches, after winning just one of 16 games prior across all competitions (D5 L10). Iceland manager and former Dundee United forward Arnar Gunnlaugsson has lost his first two games in charge of the nation. His predecessor Åge Hareide also lost his first three. Since the start of 2023, Scott Mc Tominay has scored more than double the number of goals any other player has for Scotland (11 – John Mc Ginn, 5). The Serie A MVP has netted in three of his last four national team appearances when facing an opponent for the first time: vs Switzerland, Portugal and Greece. Lennon Miller (18 years, 285 days) could make his debut in this game, with 18-year-old James Wilson debuting against Greece last time out. The only previous calendar year to see two 18-year-olds debut was in 2016, when Kieran Tierney and Oliver Burke did so. Copyright © 2025 BBC.
