The draw leaves Scotland in third place in Group A with a single point – meaning they will need to beat Hungary to stand a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages automatically.

Scotland had to work hard to contain Murat Yakin’s side but they did so with intensity and nearly went ahead in the second half when Grant Hanley hit the post.
The Scots were saved from conceding twice by the offside flag but still put on an impressive performance to secure a draw.
Clarke knew he had to get something from the game and he made one enforced change with centre-back Hanley in for the banned Ryan Porteous, while midfielder Billy Gilmour came in for Ryan Christie.
Winning two corners in three minutes provided instant encouragement for the Scots.
Sky Sports’ expert Nick Wright called it a “much improved showing overall”.
Former Scotland international Kris Boyd said: “A point will do. We’re alive and kicking… They’ve responded tonight, it was more like Scotland. Switzerland are no mugs and Scotland more than matched them.
“Steve Clarke will be relatively happy with that result.”
