Turmoil in the Tartan Army! Scotland's World Cup fate hangs precariously in the balance as they cling on to their three precious points. The 3-0 defeat to Brazil has left a dark cloud looming large, with captain Andy Robertson limping off at half-time clutching an ankle injury that threatens to derail their historic push for the knockout rounds.
Robertson's words of caution were music to no one's ears as he spoke of "taking a day or two" to assess his condition. The normally effervescent Liverpool defender seemed decidedly downbeat, and it's little wonder - his absence would be a crushing blow to Steve Clarke's side should they manage to scrape through to the last-32.
With a goal difference of -3 and a precarious sixth place among the third-placed teams, Scotland are in for a nerve-shredding few days as they await the outcome of other group stage fixtures. Only two groups have completed their schedules, leaving the top eight third-placed teams battling it out for a coveted spot in the last-32.
The statistics were always against them - a team with three points and a -3 goal difference had around 42 per cent chance of reaching the last-32. But that's exactly why Steve Clarke's side are refusing to throw in the towel, banking on results going their way and Robertson making a miraculous recovery.
The Scottish squad will regroup, recharge, and refocus for the marathon ahead, keeping their fingers crossed that the remaining group stage matches bring them the luck they so desperately need. One thing is certain - Andy Robertson's fitness will be top of the agenda as his nation holds its collective breath in anticipation of what's to come.
