What a result for Ireland… and Georgia.
Scotland lost 1-0 to Georgia tonight in Tblisi, a result that means Ireland now have third spot, and the final qualification place in Group D, in their own hands.
Irish fans on Twitter were in buoyant form following the shock result, the first time Scotland had failed to score in 19 games.

We once loved the Scots for THAT favour way back, now look at us. How fickle we are. Has it come to this?

So beat Gibraltar and Georgia, then match Scotland's results v Germany and Poland for third place and a play-off. Simple!
