Gordon Strachan has said that Scotland can still qualify for Euro 2016 despite trailing third-placed Republic of Ireland by four points.

With two matches left, Scotland need to pick up all six points against Poland and Gibraltar and hope that Ireland fail to beat Poland and Germany.

"Let's get this straight; we are still in this," Strachan told BBC Sport.

"I can't wait to get them back together. I'm really proud of them and they should be proud of themselves.

"Trust me, we're still in this. If we play like that, the same determination with a wee bit luck - when you play the world champions you need a wee bit of luck. You don't need deflections coming off someone's foot and creeping in the back of the net."

Scotland twice came from behind before Germany won 3-2 at Hampden Park on Monday.
