Last updated : 21 March 2005 By Ed_ScottishFitba

France scored the only goal of the game five minutes before half time, and although the Scots tried hard to get back on level terms they could not find a way past a determined defence. However, Scotland did have the consolation of finishing second place in the group. Scotland, France and Azerbaijan all finished with three points but Scotland had the Scots had the best goal difference.
