That is all we have time for on Tribe as Scotland lose at home against Northern Ireland thanks to a goal from Conor Bradley. I have been Elliot Thompson and thank you for joining me. Make sure to stay with us on Tribe as Spain and Brazil are currently in action in another international friendly.
Next up for Scotland is a friendly against Gibraltar which should bring an end to this winless run then they have Finland after that in another friendly to get ready for the opening game of the European Championships. For Northern Ireland, their next game in the calendar is the start of the Nations League as they host Luxembourg at the start of September however they may have some friendlies before that.
Northern Ireland will be absolutely buzzing as they had a game plan which worked perfectly with Liverpool's Conor Bradley the hero as his breakthrough season at the top level keeps on getting better. His curling strike into the top right corner was enough to get Michael O'Neil's side a very impressive win. Their back five played extremely well limiting Scotland to very few chances whilst Bradley, Reid and Charles on the counter-attack were such massive threats. It is now three games unbeaten for Northern Ireland who have had a fantastic international break after a draw against Romania before this one.
SCOTLAND GO SEVEN GAMES WITHOUT A WIN AS NORTHERN IRELAND CAUSE A BIG UPSET! Steve Clarke's men have ended this international break with two losses with just 80 days to go until they start their European Championship campaign against the hosts Germany. They started the game in promising fashion as John McGinn and Ryan Christie had half-chances but after that, Northern Ireland was solid at the back but Scotland offered very little. Their best chances of the night came at the end of the game when Adams forced Peacock-Farrell into a fantastic save from a header and shortly after that Shankland had a golden opportunity when the goalkeeper was a long way from goal but he couldn't find the target. The boos at the end from the home crowd show just how displeased they are with that poor display. A lot of work to do for Steve Clarke ahead of the Euros.
90+1'
CHANCE! A deep cross from the left comes all the way through to Shankland when Peacock-Farrell is in no-mans land. The goalkeeper comes out but Shankland wins the header however his effort goes well wide of the open goal that was staring him in the face. In the end Peacock-Farrell done just about enough to put him off.

SAVE! Armstrong gets past Hume on the left wing to get some space to cross the ball into the box. It is flicked onto Adams in the six-yard box who gets his header on target but Peacock-Farrell reacts brilliantly to tip it over the bar.

Another change for Northern Ireland as Michael O'Neil wants some more fresh legs in the midfield as Alistair McCann is taken off for Jordan Thompson.
