On an ill-tempered occasion when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia reminded onlookers what a pity it would be if he does not feature in Euro 2024, Lawrence Shankland issued his own ‘don’t you forget about me’ message.
Shankland was not named in Steve Clarke’s original squad for the fixtures with Georgia and Norway. An injury to Che Adams meant the Hearts striker, fresh from two goals at Motherwell on Saturday, received a belated call. With the Scots trailing 2-1 in the dying stages in Tbilisi, Clarke turned towards Shankland. A 92rd-minute header from the substitute snatched a point and ensured this was not to be Kvaratskhelia’s evening after all.
