Scotland closes in

CRAIG Mackail-Smith's 32nd-minute goal earned Scotland a 1-0 victory in Liechtenstein on Saturday to help it leapfrog Czech Republic into second place in Euro 2012 Group I qualifying and move within range of the playoffs. Starting for the first time and winning his third cap, the striker headed over stranded home goalkeeper Peter Jehle to put his country on 11 points with one match against group winner Spain left tomorrow. The Czechs, who have 10 points, are in Lithuania. Should the two teams finish level on points the Czechs would earn a playoff berth due to their better head-to-head record against the Scots.
