SCOTLAND’S game against Hungary was paused after a potentially serious injury to Barnabas Varga.
The striker collided with Scottish No1 Angus Gunn and medics rushed onto the field to help him.

Sheets were brought out to cover Varga with several team-mates including Dominik Szoboszlai seen in tears.
Uefa showed a wide angle replay during their coverage of the Euro 2024 contest but did not show any close-ups of the incident.
Varga was carried off the field on a stretcher, which Szoboszlai helped carry onto the field, as both sets of fans applauded.
He was reportedly conscious and communicating with medical staff on his way to hospital.
Martin Adam came onto the field to replace Varga, 29, who plays for Ferencvaros in his homeland.
The game was paused for five minutes before resuming after a VAR check for a potential penalty was waved away.
Former Scotland international Pat Nevin insisted Gunn had every right to go for the ball.
He told BBC 5 Live: “We have seen it before if a keeper comes out and he doesn’t get the ball but takes a player it is a foul.
“I actually think Angus Gunn got some of the ball there.”
Hungary scored via Kevin Csoboth in the 100th minute after a lightning counter to send Scotland tumbling out of the Euros.
They will now face an anxious wait to see if three points will be enough to see them go through as one of the best third-placed teams.
Scotland pushed hard towards the end and could have had the ball in the net via a goalmouth scramble before being caught late.
The Scots felt they should have been given a penalty for a foul on Scott McTominay and BBC pundit Alan Shearer agreed.
