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.
9. Callum McGregor - 7/10
Part of a strong-looking midfield four and did the dirty work in a deeper-lying role. Retained possession well and his work rate was very good. Solid shift. | Getty Images
10. Billy Gilmour - 7/10
Nippy and effective in tight areas which allowed his team mates to take advantage of spaces. Kept things simple before being subbed after the hour mark. | Getty Images
11. John McGinn - 9/10
The Tartan Army talisman got on the scoresheet once again with a stunning effort from distance. Provided the flick on for McTominay’s opener. Now on 17 international goals in total. Subbed. | Getty Images
12. Che Adams - 7/10
Led the line pretty well without carving out many chances on goal. Hold up play was good and his role in the Scots third goal outlined that. Subbed. | Getty Images
