George Burley says Scotland now know what they have to do after Wednesday's Group Nine qualifiers were Holland have already qualified. Macedonia beat Iceland 2-0 to draw level on seven points with the second-placed Scots, who have played a game less and have a better goal difference.

Burley, who is attempting to guide the side to their first major tournament since the 1998 World Cup in France, said: "The group was always going to be tight.

"We knew that before we started the campaign and the results in the last few days have shown that.

"The teams fighting for second spot can all take points off each other.

"But we know what we have to do now.

"Going to Norway in August was always going to be crucial.

"But with the Macedonia result (against Iceland) it means that we have to beat them when they come to Hampden in September."
