Germany take their rightful place at the top of the group with 19 points, Poland, following their 8-1 trashing of Gibraltar, retain second place on 17 points, while Ireland tighten their grip over third spot with 15 points.
Scotland are in serious danger of being cut adrift with 11 points from eight games.
Here's the next round of fixtures:
Ireland host Germany at the Aviva, but the crucial game of the night will be at Hampden Park.
If Scotland lose to Poland, Ireland will be guaranteed at least third spot, and a place in the play-offs, regardless of the result against Germany.
However, the Scots gave the world champions a fright earlier tonight, and will be going all out for a win against second place Poland, who didn't exactly look like world beaters when they played at the Aviva back in March.
Let's say, as has been mostly the case in games between Ireland, Scotland and Poland, the game ends in a draw, and Ireland lose to Germany, here's how the group will look.
And here's the final set of fixtures in Group D:
Scotland will beat Gibraltar, giving them 15 points, meaning Ireland will have to get at least a point against Poland in Warsaw to secure third spot, due to Scotland's superior record in the game's involving Ireland.
However, if Ireland were to win against Poland, they would move into second and automatically qualify for Euro 2016.
If though, O'Neill's go into a play-off, they will, as it currently stands, be seeded for the draw. The seeding is based on Uefa's coefficients rankings, with the four higher ranking teams being seeded for October's draw.
Here's the side's currently in third place in their respective groups:
