Scotland had to come from behind to snatch a 1-1 draw with lowly Canada in their friendly international at Hibernian's Easter Road ground in Edinburgh yesterday.
Canada, 50 places below the Scots in the Fifa world rankings, went 1-0 up when Fraser Aird, a midfielder with Scotland's second-tier Falkirk, capitalised on a mix-up in the hosts' defence.
Aird also had a chance to make it 2-0 but volleyed wide in the 26th minute, with Scotland manager Gordon Strachan not fielding his strongest side.
Scotland, however, saw Steven Naismith equalise 11 minutes before half-time when he turned a stray shot from debutant Tom Cairney into the visitors' net.
Scotland are currently fifth out of six teams in Europe's qualifying Group F and badly need a win against Slovenia for hopes of getting to Russia 2018.
