Scotland are on the brink of qualification for Euro 2024 after easing to a 3-0 victory over pointless Cyprus to maintain their unbeaten start in Group A.
Steve Clarke’s side moved within two points of securing their place at next summer’s finals in Germany following goals in the opening half hour from Scott McTominay, Ryan Porteous and John McGinn in Larnaca.
The victory secures a fifth straight win for Steve Clarke’s side, and a place at Euro 2024 could be rubber-stamped if Norway and Georgia draw on Tuesday night.
Here’s our post-match Scotland player ratings following the 3-0 victory in Larnaca:
Unused subs: Zander Clark (GK), Robby McCrorie (GK), John Souttar, Scott McKenna, Lewis Ferguson, Kevin Nisbet, Ryan Jack.
5. Ryan Porteous - 8/10
The former Hibs defender scored his first international goal after reacting smartly to connect with Hendry’s downward header. Has really matured and didn’t have a great deal to do defensively. | Getty Images
6. Kieran Tierney - 7/10
A composed and routine display from the Real Sociedad loanee. Offered an outlet when playing out from the back. Picked up a knock in the closing stages but was able to continue. Rarely troubled. | AFP via Getty Images
7. Andrew Robertson - 8/10
Produced an excellent cross for the opening goal. Got up and down the left flank with ease. A top performance from the skipper. | Getty Images
8. Scott McTominay - 9/10
Tremendous. Netted his SIXTH goal of this qualifying campaign after displaying some clever movement to head home from close range. Brilliant work rate out wide for the third goal. | Getty Images
