Scotland play Liechtenstein on Monday (17:00 BST)
FT: Scotland 1-3 Iceland
That's all from us on a sobering night for Scotland, comprehensively beaten by an Iceland side 30 places below them in the Fifa rankings.
We'll be back to do it all again on Monday when they face Liechtenstein.
Until then, goodbye.

Is the Dundee keeper Steve Clarke's seventh choice?
FT: Scotland 1-3 Iceland
A final few words from Steve Clarke on Scotland's lacklustre performance:
"I'm not so sure it was too much to do with the shape, we just looked a little bit flat at times even when we got back in the game.
"We made their goalkeeper work a few times, on another night maybe you get those finishes and it would be a different story.
"In two days time we're going to Lichtenstein so hopefully we'll get a performance."

Steve Clarke was much more candid about Cieran Slicker's night than I thought he was going to be.
He spoke about this was too early for him, him not being ready for it. It's clear that the lad is suffering after being thrown in to a situation.
It also sounds like he was always going to be third choice - and therefore there for experience rather than game time - until McCrorie's injury in the warm-up. It's an unforgiving position.
One thing is clear though, Clarke's manner over the goalkeeping situation was frustration bordering on anger.
FT: Scotland 1-3 Iceland
Callan McKenna, 18, has played senior league minutes during his time at Queen's Park, which makes him more experienced than Cieran Slicker.
FT: Scotland 1-3 Iceland
More from Steve Clarke:
"If you get injured in the first couple of minutes and then you come off I'd imagine [Angus Gunn] won't play the next game.
"I've had young Callan McKenna in the squad so he'll travel then we'll have a look and see if we can find another one in Scotland who's not on holiday."
FT: Scotland 1-3 Iceland
Scotland manager Steve Clarke tells BBC Scotland: "It was disappointing, the night didn't get off to a great start.
"We lost our goalie and compounded that by conceding the first goal.
"It's difficult for Cieran, I really feel for him. He got thrown into a situation that he wasn't quite ready for but Craig Gordon's injured, Liam Kelly's injured, Zander Clark is injured.
"It's something I thought might come back to bite us, the only good thing is it came in a friendly match."

One standout from Steve Clarke's press conference is that he says his "first five first-choice keepers" are now out.
"Options not exactly jumping off the page at me," he added on his goalkeeping options. "We'll see how [Slicker] is and make a decision."
Who on earth is going to be in goal against Liechtenstein?

No sign of Steve Clarke with oor Jane trackside, also no sign of him in the Hampden auditorium.
His Icelandic counterpart has long since been and gone. The assembled press pack are coiled like an Iceland high press for his arrival.

I think Steve Clarke will it that it's not good enough.
I don't see him changing in any way his for the players but you've got to be honest with the fans, with everybody, that that's not acceptable.

I think the manager said it himself, he views it as through to the World Cup, and then he probably feels that would be time to make a change.
And then big Ange [Postecoglou] can come in.

We're still waiting to hear from Steve Clarke...
FT: Scotland 1-3 Iceland
Scotland defender John Souttar tells BBC Scotland: "It was a tough night, didn't go at all how we wanted it to go.
"We wanted to dominate and take the ball to them and we didn't do that tonight. We conceded a poor goal before half-time and they went 3-1 up after the break and we never got going at all. It's one we'll need to look back on tomorrow, we're aware it's not good enough.
"We need to go and win the game [against Lichtenstein], put on a performance and get a bit of momentum back going into the September internationals."

Scotland's Lewis Ferguson tells BBC Scotland: "It's been a long season for a lot of the lads but we're here to do a job.
"We set out to win the game but we're nowhere near the standard we, or anybody expects.
"We set our standards pretty high and we were nowhere near that. We conceded sloppy goals from set pieces and that's just not good enough, it gives us too much to do."

You have to find out what's in the player's mind as well, how he's feeling about it.
What you're looking for is honesty from him [Slicker]. Does he feel like he can take on the challenge in the next game, or that he doesn't want to?
Does the manager want to take him out of the firing line?
There are a lot of questions there, and I think it's difficult for us to answer what decision the manager should make without knowing all of the facts and without having spoken to the player himself.

Michael Stewart
Former Scotland midfielder on BBC Sportsound
Very difficult [situation for Steve Clarke to manage Cieran Slicker now].
There is another game coming up, Angus Gunn looks like he's not going to be fit, and I think it is quite apparent that it will be a big call.
Do you stick with him and hope he can put in a performance that gives him some belief and feels like he's capable, or do you go for damage limitation and recognise that he's not really going to be playing for Scotland in the future and give Robby McCrorie an opportunity?
I don't think there's a right or wrong way to play this. I feel for Slicker, it's a horrible situation to be in, but that is the ruthlessness of football at this top level, and it's been exposed there badly.
Scotland's preparations for a tilt at a first World Cup in 28 years began in ignominy as a chorus of booing greeted a bleak friendly defeat by Iceland.
A calamitous first half at Hampden brought injury and, with it, insult as the Scots were a goalkeeper and a goal down within eight minutes.
Angus Gunn hobbled off after playing just two minutes, but debutant substitute Cieran Slicker was on for 64 seconds before his poor kick out was intercepted, funnelled forward, and rattled into the roof of his net by Andri Gudjohnsen.
John Souttar's header squirmed in to kindle some life in a half-filled national stadium, only for more dreadful defending just before the break leading to Lewis Ferguson nudging the ball past Slicker's despairing grasp and into his own net.
Boos greeted that goal and half-time, and would be heard again seven minutes after the restart when Victor Palsson's bullet header went through Slicker's hands. An lengthy VAR check failed to save Scotland.
Technology thwarted the Scots again when George Hirst's tap in was ruled out for Scott McTominay being offside in the build-up, but in truth it was a comeback that never looked like being merited.
Slicker error leads to shock Iceland lead
It is early doors for Scotland and Clarke. In fact, the 2026 World Cup campaign hasn't even started yet. But this whole affair had an air of end-of-season to it.
Losing your goalkeeper after two minutes is a huge disruption. So is throwing on one in Ipswich Town back-up Slicker who has only played 10 minutes of football since August 2023 and never appeared in a league game.
Clarke chose to experiment in his starting XI, but it was evolution rather than revolution with his changes.
Max Johnston didn't disgrace himself at right-wing back, Hirst was unfortunate not to get his goal, and Motherwell teenager Lennon Miller got his first cap.
However, Scotland had won all six previous meetings with Iceland and, even with taking a long season into , the Tartan Army would have expected more.
The few who were left inside Hampden at full-time articulated that clearly.
Next up is a trip to Liechtenstein on Monday - live on BBC Scotland if you're brave enough - before the proper stuff begins in September.
Right now, that feels a long way away. Even this far out, so does the prospect of a first World Cup since 1998.
Souttar heads Scotland level against Iceland
Scotland captain Andy Robertson: "We all know that's nowhere near good enough.
"I don't want to say too much - we need to digest this and speak in the changing room before we start doing interviews.
"Getting beat 3-1 at home by a team that, no disrespect, we should beat... but they've been better than us. We need to get it right pretty quickly."
Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson: "It's been a long season but we're here to do a job. We set out to win but we were nowhere near the standard anybody expects.
"We conceded sloppy goals from set pieces and that's just not good enough."
Scotland defender John Souttar: "It didn't go at all how we wanted it to go. We wanted to dominate and take the ball to them and we never got going at all.
"We need to go and win the game [against Lichtenstein], put on a performance and get a bit of momentum back going into the September internationals."
Iceland retake the lead through Ferguson own goal
Scotland have lost 12 of their last 21 matches in all competitions (W4 D5). Since the date of the first defeat in this run (12 September, 2023), that's as many defeats as San Marino have suffered.
Iceland's three goals were as many as they'd scored in all six previous matches they'd played against Scotland combined.
Andri Gudjohnsen has followed in the footsteps of his father, Eidur, in scoring at Hampden - Eidur Gudjohnsen netted for Iceland in a 2-1 defeat in 2003.
Goalkeeper Slicker made his debut at 22 years and 264 days - the youngest keeper since Craig Gordon in September 2005 (22y 250d). He conceded 64 seconds after coming on (subbed on 6:37, Gudjohnsen goal at 7:41).
Kieran Tierney became the 41st player to win 50 caps for Scotland. At 28 years and one day old, he's the seventh youngest to do so.
Ferguson's own goal was the first by a Scotland player since Stephen O'Donnell against Russia in June 2019.

Scotland have won all six of their previous meetings with Iceland, only holding better 100%-win rates against Cyprus (9) and San Marino (8).
This will be Iceland’s first visit to Hampden Park since a 2-1 defeat in World Cup qualifying in April 2009, with Steven Fletcher and Ross McCormack scoring their first international goals for Scotland.
Scotland have won just one of their last eight home games in all competitions (D3 L4), having won six in a row at Hampden Park prior.
Iceland have lost each of their last three games in all competitions, last losing more consecutively between October 2020 and March 2021 (7 in a row).
Despite losing 3-0 last time out to Greece, Scotland have won three of their last four matches, after winning just one of 16 games prior across all competitions (D5 L10).
Iceland manager and former Dundee United forward Arnar Gunnlaugsson has lost his first two games in charge of the nation. His predecessor Åge Hareide also lost his first three.
Since the start of 2023, Scott McTominay has scored more than double the number of goals any other player has for Scotland (11 – John McGinn, 5). The Serie A MVP has netted in three of his last four national team appearances when facing an opponent for the first time: vs Switzerland, Portugal and Greece.
Lennon Miller (18 years, 285 days) could make his debut in this game, with 18-year-old James Wilson debuting against Greece last time out. The only previous calendar year to see two 18-year-olds debut was in 2016, when Kieran Tierney and Oliver Burke did so.
