Scotland secured their first Nations League victory in emphatic fashion, ending a long winless streak, as substitute John McGinn 's late goal earned a hard-fought triumph over 10-man Croatia.
McGinn pounced on a rebound after Dominik Kotarski parried Ben Doak's shot, igniting Hampden Park with his 19th goal for the national team.
The win keeps Scotlands hopes alive for retaining their League A status.
A victory against Poland on Monday could secure a relegation play-off spot in the spring, and potentially even a place in the Nations League quarter-finals or top seeding for the World Cup qualifying draw-provided Croatia loses to Portugal and a three-goal swing occurs.
For now, however, Scotland celebrated a much-needed morale boost after going 10 competitive matches without a win and securing victory in just one of their previous 16 games overall.
