Georgia’s Euro 2024 qualifier with Scotland ends in 2:2 draw

The Georgian national football team on Thursday drew their UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers match with Scotland in Tbilisi after a late equaliser for the visitors. 

The game at the Dinamo Arena stadium in the capital city saw Khvicha Kvaratskhelia open the scoring on minute 15, before Scott McTominay equalised the score four minutes into the second half.

Kvaratskhelia scored his second goal on minute 57 to give another lead to the hosts, but Lawrence Shankland found the net in stoppage time for the final score of 2:2.

Sitting fourth in Group A of the European qualifiers, Georgia will face group leaders Spain on Sunday in Valladolid for their final game of the qualifying stage.

The game in Tbilisi was preceded with the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal - a charity funded by Scottish national team fans in 2003 - visiting the children’s hospice Firefly World in Georgia’s capital city and making a donation.

The act follows the first donation by Scotland fans for Georgian children in 2007, in a tradition that sees the group make the gesture in countries where Scotland play away games.
