Scotland player ratings as Craig Gordon impresses and Kevin Nisbet makes debut

The Hearts and Hibs representatives will be happy enough with their night's work in Scotland's 4-0 win over the Faroe Islands.

A John McGinn double, Che Adams' first goal for his country and Ryan Fraser's header gave the hosts a convincing win at Hampden and their first victory of the qualifying campaign.

Craig Gordon was handed a start and made a brilliant first half stop to keep the score at 1-1.

Kevin Nisbet made his Scotland debut off the bench after having to sit and watch the previous two games.

Here's how they rated out of ten.

Craig Gordon: Not overly busy but a brilliant first half save and a smart tip over late on. 7

Scott McTominay: Solid and assured at the back and stepped into midfield when the opportunity was there. 7

Grant Hanley: Kept it simple and defended while those either side of him played. 6

Kieran Tierney: Outstanding. constantly driving forward and set up three of the four goals. 9

Ryan Fraser: Less familiar wing back role and scored his third in three Scotland appearances. 7

Andy Robertson: Outshone initially by Tierney but a good cross for Fraser's goal. 7

Callum McGregor: Kept it ticking over in a deeper midfield role. 6

Kenny McLean: Similar to McGregor in the middle of the park. 6

John McGinn: Scotland's main man these days, again coming up with the goals at key times. 8

Che Adams: Looks a great addiition. Pace, power and a lovely crisp strike for his goal. 7

Lyndon Dykes: Worked hard but didn't quite happen for the big man. Looked frustrated. 6

Subs

Kevin Nisbet: One good run in behind but denied by the offside flag. 4

Oli McBurnie: A good defensive header late on but now well down the pecking order. 3

John Fleck: Great through ball for Nisbet. 5

Liam Palmer: Little time. 2

Scott McKenna: Same as Palmer. 2
