Scotland take a narrow advantage back to Hampden Park on Sunday for their second leg of the Nations League play-off against Greece.
A Scott McTominay penalty proved to be the difference in a close encounter in the first leg in Athens.
Scotland were decent value for their lead in the first half, but it was a backs against the wall job after the interval with Greece throwing bodies forward in search of an equaliser which most onlookers would say they probably deserved.
Steve Clarke's side even had a major stroke of luck when VAR overturned a late penalty for the hosts although to be fair to the Scots, it wasn;t as if 42-year-old veteran keeper Craig Gordon had to make save after save – only one of their 24 shots were on target.
The Greeks will be kicking themselves by wasting home advantage but both managers stressed the tie was nowhere near over and the visitors will still think they have every chance of overturning the deficit and winning promotion to Group A.
For Scotland, it was more encouragement of an upwards trajectory with wins now against Croatia, Poland and Greece – none of them mugs by any means.
How the bookies view it: Scots narrow favourites
It's an interesting one to price up with Scotland not needing the win of course, But they are still favourites at 6/4 with the Greeks 2/1 outsiders and the draw 17/10 all with Boylesports.
Recent head to heads: Scots on top
That was just their third meeting between the sides and every one of them has now finished in a 1-0 scoreline.
After a pair of 1-0 home wins in the Euro 96 qualifiers, Scotland's one-goal win in Athens sees them with the advantage.
Players to watch: Kos can cause chaos
Scott McTominay yet again proved his worth to Scotland when he converted a penalty on Thursday. The Napoli ace is 18/5 to score anytime with Boylesports.
Kostas Karetsas was handed his debut as a second half sub for Greece and the17-year-old Genk superkid caused Scotland all sorts of problems with his direct style. That should be enough to win him a starting slot and he is 6/1 to score anytime with Boylesports.
Predicted line-ups
Scotland manged to avoid any suspensions from Thursday night despite plenty sitting on bookings. Steve Clarke could shake things up though with Ryan Christie available after suspension.
Greece are likely to give a start to Kostas Karetsas after his big impression off the bench.
Scotland: Gordon, Ralston, Hanley, Souttar, Robertson, Gilmour, Christie, McGinn, McTominay, Tierney, Adams.
Greece: Vlachodimos, Rota, Mavropanos, Chatzidiakos, Tsimikas, Mantalos, Siopis, Karetsas, Pelkas, Tzolis; Pavlidis.
Anything else catch the eye?
Scotland rode their luck in Greece last week and they will not be expected to give the Greeks as much of the ball in front of an expectant Hampden crowd.
And both sides could cancel each other out and give Scotland the draw that would be enough to avoid relegation. There really isn't a lot between the teams.
It's hard to believe Greece will be as wasteful in front of goal again and with the visitors having to go for it, expect goals in this game too.
Scotland have plenty of creativity on the park and can contribute to the scoring too.
Back both teams to scre and over 2.5 goals at a healthy 6/4 with Boylseports.
Greece won the corners count 8-3 at home and they will have to go for it again at Hampden. They should be abe to get five or more at 5/6 with bet365.
