Before this game the Scottish Football Association was contacted by the National Crime Agency about a potential match-fixing threat. In the end Nigeria secured a draw in the 90th minute through Uche Nwofor, adding to an earlier effort from Michael Uchebo and cancelling out Charlie Mulgrew’s improvised opener and an own-goal from Azubuike Egwuekwe.
