Scotland manager Steve Clarke says there is still work to do after their 1-0 elimination victory against Greece in Athens.
Scott MCTOMINAY marked a penalty and the Scottish could have been more ahead of the break in an impressive performance.
But Konstantinos Karetsans, 17, came and wreaked havoc, with unhappy Greece not to level it for the return leg to Hampden Park on Sunday.
Scotland seeks to stay in League A while the Greeks seek to leave Ligue B after finishing second behind England and in front of the Republic of Ireland and Finland.
Clarke said: “Game on. It’s always open. I do not see that the game is closed at all.
“I thought the Greeks were good in the second half. Their outside record is good in the group phases.
“We have shown real determination.”

“They went to Ireland and won comfortably, they went to Finland and won comfortably and they went to Wembley and won, so the game is still open.
“I thought that the first half we were excellent, we played the ball very well, we created a good chance, might have been more advanced in front of half-time.
“To be fair to the Greeks, they went out in the second half and made us for us and prevented us from playing.”
