Scotland's World Cup destiny remains in their own hands - but they'll have to do far better with their feet next month after escaping embarrassment against the lowly Faroe Islands thanks to Lyndon Dykes' late strike.
Steve Clarke's team were heading for a potentially disastrous draw until the QPR forward scored in his fourth straight qualifier.
Not that Dykes knew too much about it when Nathan Patterson's cross was deflected onto his chest and into the net four minutes from time.
Lyndon Dykes scored a late winner to spare Scotland's blushes against the Faroe Islands
Dykes may not have known much about the finish - and VAR even checked for a handball
The goal stood, though, and Scotland's fans will be travelling home from Torshavn happy
A lengthy VAR check followed - there was a suspicion of handball - but the win means another against Moldova in their next fixture will guarantee a play-off spot.
But goodness, a repeat of this performance in Chisnau and they will return empty-handed ahead of their final group match against leaders Denmark.
