Hello and welcome to our LIVE match coverage of the crucial Group A World Cup qualifier between Wales and Scotland from the Cardiff City Stadium, kick off 19.45 BST.

Good battle developing between Ledley and Hutton. Wales win a throw.

Throw to Wales deep inside Scotland territory. Scotland win one back and Hutton takes an age before Caldwell plays it back to McGregor.

Late whistle for a foul by Davies. Hutton’s cross comes back off him for a Wales goal kick.

Good football from Wales buy Allen’s ball to Gunter drifts out of play. Wales have settled now.

It’s been a competitive but cagey opening ten minutes with the midfield battle looking like it will be critical.

Maloney cuts inside and is brought down on the edge of the box. Nothing given and Bale breaks and goes for goal from a tight angle. The shot is just wide! Scotland incensed.

Foul by Darren Fletcher checking Ramsey and stopping the break away. Cynical but no card.

Morrison caught offside again. Good pressure from Wales but McGregor gets it clear.

Decent ball from Williams to Bale and he chests down and strikes it over the bar. Ambitious but it’s a first shot.

Brown plays it forward to Commons but he commits a foul. Wales have not won for almost a year.

Fletcher and Brown have started in a deeper holding position for Scotland. Maloney wins a throw down the right.

Scotland win a corner but Wales break clear. Referee Meyer having no nonse after a challenge from Brown. Free kick Wales.

Scotland have started the brighter, switching play to either flank. Bad challenge from Vaughan. Free kick Scotland. Another foul by Ramsey another free kick.

Fletcher caught offside immediately as McGregor gets an early first touch. Price looks for Morrison and it’s offside for Wales this time.

The rousing anthems have finished and referee Florian Meyer blows the whistle to get us underway. Surely defeat for either side would end their chances of qualification and Wales really must win. Both sides playing an attacking 4-3-3 formation with Scotland in their change shirt of white.

Kick-off is only five minutes away. MATCH ODDS: Wales 9/5, Scotland 6/4, Draw 9/4.

Expect goals tonight. The Scots have kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 away World Cup qualifiers.

Wales are in a terrible run of form, having lost all of their last five matches, scoring just one goal in the process. If Wales were to lose today, boss Chris Coleman will set a new record for a Welsh boss as none has lost their first five games.

Wales have won four and lost just one of their last six matches with Scotland (W4 D1 L1), although that defeat did come in their last meeting in Dublin in 2011. But history is against Scotland as they have only won once in Cardiff in 50 years.

Chris Coleman: “Craig’s a big boy and he’ll know international football is war. You have less games so less time to get things right and when a nation’s looking at you it’s different from when you are with a club. Craig’s been there much longer than I have and he can handle that. Once you start worrying and looking at the negative side of things, it stops you making the right decisions. Craig will do what he feels is right to win the game and I’ll do the same."

Craig Levein: “Having Steven Fletcher back is also great and he has been excellent in training this week. Steven has been different class. But I’m good. I’m looking forward to it. I always thought when Wales came out of the hat, it was one to look forward to. There is the extra added spice of it being a home international. Who knows how Wales will react to their defeat, though. You look back through history and some teams respond in a positive way to prove it was a one-off."
