Thank you for joining Tribe for this coverage. Be sure to switch tabs and follow England's game against Bosnia & Herzegovina which will kick-off in just over half an hour. From me, this is goodbye for now.
In the second half, Scotland's performance was less impressive in terms of creating chances, but they managed to score twice to secure the win and ease any nerves about a potential upset. Christie finally found the net, getting on the end of a cross from Andy Robertson, combining with Lawrence Shankland, and firing past Hankins from close range. Che Adams came off the bench to double the lead, blasting John McGinn's cross past the goalkeeper with a first-time strike. Gibraltar, now on a 13-match losing streak, only managed one shot throughout the game. They will host Wales next, while Scotland prepares to welcome Finland in their final match before Euro 2024.
Scotland end their seven-game winless streak with a victory over Gibraltar in Portugal. They dominated the first half but struggled to convert their numerous chances into goals. Grant Hanley had a trio of opportunities, including a downward header over the bar from close range, a powerful shot that forced Hankins into a good save, and a sliding effort that went wide of the left post. Ryan Christie was also active, pushing for the opener but only hitting the target with one of his four shots. Despite their dominance, Scotland couldn't break the deadlock before halftime.
90+4'
Gibraltar win the ball inside their half and break. Jolley gets down the right and looks to cause problems with a right-footed cross, but it's poor and straight into the hands of the Scottish goalkeeper, Clark.
90+2'
McGinn's quick turn and acceleration leave defenders scrambling. His attempt to find Adams with a through ball, however, is intercepted by Olivero. McGinn has been brilliant today, especially in the second half.
+4
90'
Slow passes inside the attacking third for Scotland as Gibraltar are not pressing. They win a free-kick on the left but opt to play it short and continue to play around the Gibraltar box.
88'
Tierney's surging run from the left-back position adds an attacking dimension. His cross into the box, however, is intercepted by Lopes, extinguishing the danger for Gibraltar again.
86'
A late change in attack for Gibraltar as Bartolo replaces Barr who has had a quiet afternoon today.
