There will be a minimum of two minutes of added time played here.
89'
Fraser whips a fantastic ball into the box from a corner, it is met by Phillips in acres of space but he just gets it all wrong and his header goes well wide. Another good chance for Scotland, we've had plenty of them tonight.
87'
J. Cummings enters the game and replaces C. McGregor.
Another Scotland change, this time it is Callum McGregor who is coming off and he is replaced by Jason Cummings.
HUGE CHANCE! Cummings with his first touch of the game, a wonderful chance to score an equaliser! Phillips nicked the ball off Rekik close to the touchline, he plays a square ball to Cummings who was making a good run into the box, the recently introduced substitute then opens up his body and tries to place the ball into the bottom corner, but he doesn't get enough pace on it and it is a fairly comfortable save for Cillissen. But Cummings should've done much better with that chance!
85'
Another decent save by Cillissen, this time to gather Christie's cross, who Van Dijk despite there not appearing to be much room to do so, but the goalkeeper is there to make the stop and prevent a Scotland chance.
83'
The game is slowly coming to its conclusion here at Pittodrie, with Jason Cummings set to be introduced for the final few minutes of this friendly game.
80'
The Netherlands are now starting to pass the ball around the pitch at their own pace again, it all looks relatively straight forward and relaxed for the visitors, who will be looking to comfortably see this game out.
78'
Not long left to play here, Scotland are the team on top at the moment but they are struggling to carve out any goalscoring chances, with the best opportunity still falling to Fraser. Can they grab an equaliser?
76'
S. Berghuis enters the game and replaces Q. Promes.
Another Netherlands substitution, this time it is Quincy Promes who comes off and he has been replaced by Steven Berghuis.
74'
K. Strootman gets yellow.
Kevin Strootman is the first Dutch player to be shown a yellow card here tonight.

Description
73'
GREAT CHANCE! Ryan Fraser with his first opportunity on the ball and he goes incredibly close to grabbing an equaliser for Scotland! The winger chested down a ball and beat Ake for pace on the right wing, cut inside and a slip from a Dutch defender allowed Fraser to get all the way into the penalty area. However, his shot was put just inches wide of the post, with Cillessen really stretching to try and prevent it. The closest Scotland have come in the second half.
72'
J. Veltman enters the game and replaces T. Fosu-Mensah.
The Netherlands make their first change of the game and it looks to have been a forced substitution, with Timothy Fosu-Mensah limping slightly and he is replaced by Joël Veltman.
71'
R. Fraser enters the game and replaces J. Forrest.
Scotland make their second change of the evening, James Forrest is the man coming off and he has been replaced by Ryan Fraser.
69'
Good football by Scotland, they are playing quick and neat passes inside the Dutch final third, with Robertson joining the attack from left-back, but the Netherlands defend well and don't give too much space away for the hosts to play into. It all eventually comes to nothing.
67'
GOOD SAVE! Excellent strike from the edge of the box by McGregor! The attacking midfielder fired a powerful shot at goal, it was moving around in the air and forced Cillessen into a good save, with Phillips then quickly trying to get onto the end of the rebound. However, this time the Barcelona keeper does well and prevents any further Scotland chances.
64'
J. McGinn gets yellow.
John McGinn is shown the first yellow card of the game for a late challenge that broke up a Netherlands counter-attack.
62'
Excellent build-up play by the Netherlands on the edge of the penalty area, allows Strootman a chance to strike at goal, but Tierney gets across to make a superb block to deny the Dutch skipper. The visitors still look like they have another couple of gears they can move into and really step up the quality.
60'
The game could do with an injection of fresh legs here, as the pace of the game has dropped significantly and the crowd noise has also dropped as a result. The Scottish fans haven't had too much to cheer about in this second half so far.
57'
Decent chance for Phillips! Scotland won a corner, it was whipped into the box and met by Phillips at the near post who tries to flick the ball on, using the pace already on the ball. However, it puts too much on it and it flies high over the goal.
55'
TERRIBLE MISTAKE! Van Dijk plays a simple ball back to his goalkeeper, it was a chipped ball but he didn't have much pressure on him. Cillessen took a touch to his right, rather than striking the ball first time and under pressure from Phillips he completly messes up his clearance. Phillips almost capitalises but van Dijk manages to get back well and the Netherlands eventually clear the danger.
53'
STAT: The Dutch have conceded just two goals in their last 10 meetings with Scotland, keeping eight clean sheets.
50'
Almost a great chance! A loose pass by the visitors which allows Forrest to play a first-time ball to Phillips, who should've tried to take a touch but instead he lets the ball go across his body and the pace of the ball gets the better of him, allowing Cillessen to gather the ball.
48'
Good start by Scotland in the opening couple of minutes, they are stepping up higher up the pitch and not allowing the Netherlands as much time and space on the ball and making it more difficult for them to play the ball around as they wish.
46'
C. Mulgrew enters the game and replaces C. Berra.
The second half is underway!
Scotland have made a substitution of the break, Christophe Berra has been replaced by Charlie Mulgrew.
45' +1
That's the half-time whistle!
45'
There will be a minimum of one minute added time played here.
42'
Scotland will feel hard done by with that goal after an impressive opening performance to the game, just a sloppy pass which the Netherlands capitalised on and a team of their quality can punish these small mistakes.
40'
M. Depay has scored a goal for Netherlands! Assist by R. Babel.
Excellent counter-attack by Scotland and they looked to be in with a good chance to score, however, McGregor's poor pass allowed Ake to step out of the defensive line and clear the danger. Now the Dutch can counter!
Babel looks to have drifted just offside on the replay of the goal, however the officials didn't see it. The winger was picked out of the right wing and he then whipped a cross towards Depay in the box, who made no mistakes with the finish.
GOOOOAAALLL! NETHERLANDS LEAD! It was a quick and incisive counter-attack from the Dutch, just seconds after Scotland had their own and were in a strong position in the Dutch final third. Wijnaldum ran at the Scotland defence and they had a man extra in the attack, it was played wide to Babel who managed to just evade the offside flag. The former Liverpool man the chipped the ball into the box and Depay had a tap-in from just a couple of yards out, he couldn’t miss!
39'
Despite not qualifying for the World Cup next year, the Tartan Army are unbeaten in their last seven internationals, winning four and drawing three which is their best run since April 1997 - they were last unbeaten in eight successive games in May 1988.
36'
CHANCE SCOTLAND! Tierney forces Cillessen into making a superb save from just outside the penalty area. The Scotland skipper ventured forward and after not being put under much pressure, the Celtic man unleashed a powerful, dipping effort at goal which was heading into the net, but the Barcelona keeper made a very good save.
34'
The Dutch give away two successive free kicks for Scotland with Babel and Fosu-Mensah committing the poor fouls just inside the Scots half. The second from Fosu-Mensah on Christie sees him given a talking to by the referee but no card is shown.
32'
We are past the half an hour mark here at the Pittodrie Stadium, the score remains goalless but it is certainly the Netherlands who are the team on top at the moment. They are dominating possession and forcing the Scots deeper and deeper, but they are lacking the clinical final ball at present. It is all pretty comfortable defending for the Scotland backline.
30'
Head-to-head: Scotland have lost each of their last three internationals against Netherlands, most recently a 1-0 loss at Hampden Park in September 2009.
28'
First Netherlands corner of the game as Ake wins the set piece after another powerful run down the left-wing, which is causing the Scots a few problems. However, the corner is taken short and then wasted by Daley Blind, who tries a cross-come-shot from over 35 yards out and gets it all wrong.
25'
A brief stoppage in play here as Tierney is down with a head injury after colliding with Christophe Berra in the penalty area. Tierney did well to head the ball away and Berra didn't seem to give him a warning shout and clattered into the back of the Celtic man.
23'
A good run from Ake down the left flank as he whips the ball into the box, but Ryan Babel's attempt to cross back into the box is cut out well by Tierney. Plenty of possession by the Netherlands, but they have struggled to create anything going forward, or in the Scotland final third.
21'
The Scotland skipper for the evening, Kieran Tierney, is the fifth youngest captain in the history of the Scotland national team and the second youngest since the beginning of the 20th century. The Celtic man has already captained his club this season as well.
19'
Scotland with a decent chance to whip the ball into the box, as Ryan Christie takes a free-kick close to the half-way line. The Scottish defenders make their way forward in anticipation, however, his ball is over hit and the ball goes out for a goal-kick.
17'
Scotland once again try and thread Phillips through in the box, trying to use his lightening pace to break through the Netherlands defence. However it just runs too long for the striker as Cillissen this time comes out to collect the ball.
15'
After a shaky couple of minutes, the Dutch seem to have regained their composure and look to have tightened up at the back now. An excellent start to the game by Scotland though and they really should be one-nil up, through Phillips or Forrest.
14'
STAT: Netherlands put six past Scotland in a Euro 2004 play-off qualifier in November 2003, the most the Scots have conceded in an international since April 1961.
11'
Another Scotland chance! Keiren Tierney decides to pump a long ball up front and Matt Phillips chases after it with Virgil Van Dijk next to him. Jasper Cillessen started to come out of his goal to gather the ball, but then changes his mind and it allows Phillips in, he takes the ball down and then fires his shot straight at Cillessen. Van Dijk can't believe his keeper didn't come and gather the ball and relieve any danger.
9'
CHANCE SCOTLAND! James Forrest with a great opportunity to open the scoring here! It was excellent play by x to turn and run into the box, he tried to work a shot himself, his shot was blocked and it fell to Forrest who was in a much better position in the centre of the box, just 10 yards out. The winger appeared to just have the keeper to beat, but he took it onto his favoured left foot before firing a shot at goal, which allowed Nathan Ake to get back and make a superb block.
7'
Much better from Scotland in the last couple of minutes, they have managed to spring a few passes together and work their way into the Dutch final third. Two corners in quick succession are both taken quickly and easily cleared by the visitors.
5'
Plenty of players on both sides who will be eager to impress tonight, especially those Scotland players making their debut for their country. Meanwhile, the Dutch have plenty of work to do after a very poor couple of years on the international scene.
3'
The Netherlands are enjoying the early possession here, keeping the ball well in their own half. However, we've just had a early problem with a flat ball! After just a couple of minutes here, the officials are trying to find another at the moment so we can restart the game.
1'
We're underway!
Good evening and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the international friendly between Scotland and the Netherlands.
Temporary Scotland manager Malky Mackay will be looking to get off to a positive start when they host the Netherlands tonight. Mackay has named eight uncapped players in his squad. The new boss starts his stint after taking over on a caretaker basis from Gordon Strachan, who was sacked after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Ryan Christie and Graeme Shinnie of Aberdeen, Jason Cummings of Nottingham Forest, Hibernian's Paul Hanlon and Ryan Jack of Rangers are in the squad along with Celtic's Callum McGregor, Jordan Archer of Millwall and Liam Cooper of Leeds, all of whom are looking for their first cap.
Like Scotland, the Dutch failed to reach the World Cup in Russia next summer after finishing third in their qualifying group behind France and Sweden. It is the second major tournament in a row they have missed out on after also failing to qualify for Euro 2016.
TEAM NEWS: Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor could earn his first international cap three years after being named in the squad. However, Leigh Griffiths and Darren Fletcher withdrew from the Scotland squad at the weekend due to injury.
Meanwhile for the Netherlands, Vincent Janssen, Jurgen Locadia and Bas Dost are all out with injuries. Wesley Sneijder and Steven Berghuis return to the squad, while Danny van de Beek has been handed another chance to earn his first cap. In-form PSV striker Jurgen Locadia is also included.
The team news is in, here is how the two sides will line-up tonight...
There will be three debutants for Scotland this evening, with Callum McGregor, Ryan Jack and Ryan Christie all starting for the first time. Furthermore, Kieran Tierney will captain the side at Pittodrie.
The teams are out here at the Pittodrie Stadium and we are just minutes away from kick-off! Stay tuned for all of the match action.
HALF-TIME: SCOTLAND 0-1 NETHERLANDS
Half-time at the Pittodrie and Memphis Depay's late goal sees the Netherlands ahead at the break. Scotland have had the better chances, especially early on and forced the Dutch keeper into making several good saves, but a poor pass allowed the Dutch to counter and break the deadlock here.
FULL-TIME: SCOTLAND 0-1 NETHERLANDS
That's all from us tonight folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
There's no late goal for Scotland tonight and Memphis Depay's first half strike is enough for the Netherlands to seal a fourth successive victory for the Oranje. A good performance by the Scots, who created numerous chances in both halves but just couldn't convert.
