Scotland went into the break of their European Championship qualifier against Spain 1-0 up thanks to Scott McTominay's eighth-minute goal at Hampden - but when the players came out on to the park for the second half, there was a change in referee.
Steve Clarke's side took the lead during a frantic opening 45 minutes at the national stadium, prompting Spain manager Luis de la Fuente to bring on two substitutes at the break - and there was also a change in the middle of the park.
Referee Sandro Scharer swapped roles with fourth official Lukas Fahndrich for the second half after picking up a muscular injury.

Meanwhile, in the early kick-off in Group A, Norway were held to a 1-1 draw away to Georgia that leaves the Scandinavians without a win two games into their European Championships qualifying campaign.
Stale Solbakken’s side – who were unable to call upon superstar striker Erling Haaland after the Manchester City centre-forward picked up an injury that ruled him out of the international break –suffered a 3-0 defeat to Spain in Malaga on Saturday before failing to garner three points in Tblisi.
The visitors took the lead early on in the Georgian capital when Real Sociedad attacker Alexander Sorloth opened the scoring with a superbly-taken goal on 15 minutes. Latching onto a long ball forward, the 27-year-old did well to get it under control and create an angle for himself on the edge of the box before he rifled an unstoppable shot into Giorgi Mamardashvili’s bottom-left corner.
The home side didn’t see much of the ball, instead relying on quick-fire counter-attacks to hurt their opponents and with Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the park – arguably the most in-form player in Europe’s top leagues – it was a fairly sound strategy.
They would get their reward on the hour-mark. A long kick forward was flicked beyond Norway’s high defence and Metz forward Georges Mikautadze scarpered through on goal to slot the ball beyond Orjan Nyland from the resulting one-on-one.
Martin Odegaard spurned a glorious chance to hand Norway the lead and there was late drama as VAR intervened to take a second look at a potential penalty for Georgia in second-half stoppage time but the original decision was upheld as the two sides settled for a point apiece.
