Scotland stunned Greece with a 3-1 home win in their Group C qualifier on Thursday to take a big step towards a first World Cup since 1998 on a night that saw manager Steve Clarke equal the national record for most games in charge, Reuters reported.

Goals from Ryan Christie, Lewis Ferguson and Lyndon Dykes turned the game around for the hosts after Kostas Tsimikas had given Greece a deserved lead just past the hour mark.

The Tartan Army had nothing to celebrate in the first half at Hampden Park when Scotland failed to muster a shot on target, with the visitors dominating possession but squandering opportunities, according to Reuters.
