Scotland 0 Serbia 0:Scotland are already playing catch-up in their 2014 World Cup qualification campaign after drawing a blank against Serbia in their opening Group A game at Hampden.
The home side certainly had their chances in a wide-open encounter, most notably Steven Naismith missed a one-on-one in the second half, but Scotland goalkeeper Allan McGregor had to make vital saves to keep his goal intact.
With Group A favourites Belgium seeing off Wales 2-0 in Cardiff and top seeds Croatia beating Macedonia 1-0 in Zagreb on Friday night, three points at home to Macedonia on Tuesday night are surely a must if Craig Levein’s side are to harbour realistic hopes of reaching Brazil in two years time.
