For anyone wondering what last night's World Cup games mean for Scotland, the short answer is 'bad.'
Steve Clarke's side have been facing an anxious wait to see if their three points and -3 goal difference will be good enough to send them through to the knockouts, with the likelihood being that it will not be.
They are watching the results each night and after early going against them, including Ecuador's shock win over Germany, they were hoping for better last night.
In Group I, the key match was Senegal versus Iraq. Scotland needed the two sides to draw, with a win for either side seeing them leapfrog Scotland. The Africans went on to thump their opponents 5-0, putting them five ahead of Scotland on goal difference.

All was not lost for Scotland but qualification is getting less and less likely by the day.
Group H hinged on Spain beating Uruguay and that was one result that went out way. That sees Uruguay finish third on two points, so behind Scotland in the third place rankings.
In Group G, Scotland required Egypt to defeat Iran. A draw in that fixture would guarantee the third-placed side finishes above Scotland on goal difference, and that is exactly what happened with a 1-1 scoreline, one that suited both teams and had Iran third with a goal difference of zero.
It all leaves Scotland with a 0.07 per cent chance of progression.
They now need numerous specific, and unlikely results from the remaining three groups.
They need Austria to beat Algeria by at least two goals, or for Algeria to win by four goals or more.
They also need Ghana to defeat Croatia by three goals or more and either DR Congo and Uzbekistan to draw, or for the latter to win by a maximum of three goals.
