Former Liverpool defender, Martin
Skrtel scored own goal as Scotland edged past 10-man Slovakia 1-0 at
Hampden Park to keep them on course for a place in the World Cup qualifying
play-offs.
Scotland moved up to second place in the table and Gordon Strachan's side know a victory in Slovenia on Sunday will guarantee a spot in November's play-offs. Two quick fire yellow cards for Robert Mak saw Scotland have a man advantage from the 23rd minute, with the Slovakia midfielder sent off for simulation in the penalty area just five minutes after his first booking.

Scotland twice hit the bar through Chris Martin and Leigh Griffiths after the break, but at the death Skrtel turned the
ball into his own net from Ikechi Anya's
cross. The Scots were on top even
before Mak's red card, and it took a superb stop from Martin Dubravka to deny Christophe
Berra from heading Scotland into the lead after 20 minutes.
