DAVID MARSHALL 6

Commanded his box well and pulled off a good save in the first half from a Patrik Schick strike. Had no chance with either goal.

LIAM COOPER 6

In from the start due to an injury for Kieran Tierney. Defended well and was strong in the air.

JACK HENDRY 5

Can’t be faulted for his defensive showing but a poor decision to take on a shot in the lead up to the second Czech goal. Unlucky to see a strike come off the crossbar early in the second period.

GRANT HANLEY 8

Many questioned his place in the starting team XI and he answered their concerns. A polished defensive display at Hampden.

STUART ARMSTRONG 6

An energetic shift in midfield and saw plenty of the ball. Could have done better with his final ball at times. Had a couple of strikes deflected behind for corners.

STEPHEN O’DONNELL 5

Looked nervous in possession and was poor going forward. Stuck to his defensive task well though.

SCOTT MCTOMINAY 6

Played most of the game in central midfield and failed to get on the ball as much as he would have liked. Moved into defence late on.

ANDY ROBERTSON 8

Best performance in a Scotland shirt to date. Bombed forward on the left flank at every opportunity and defended brilliantly. Saw his powerful strike tipped over in the first half.

JOHN MCGINN 7

His usual influential self in the middle of the park. Put himself about and kept the ball well.

LYNDON DYKES 6

Led the line well for Scotland but failed to get on the scoresheet. Missed a big chance with 20 minutes remaining.

RYAN CHRISTIE 6

Got up in support of Lyndon Dykes but struggled to influence the opening 45 minutes. Hooked at half-time.

SUBS

CHE ADAMS (FOR CHRISTIE, 45) 6

Linked up well with Dykes when introduced from the bench.

CALLUM MCGREGOR (FOR HENDRY, 67) 5

Added a bit of composure in the middle of the park.

RYAN FRASER (FOR ARMSTRONG, 67) 4

Never got the opportunity to utilise his pace in the dying stages of the game.

KEVIN NISBET (FOR DYKES, 79) 4

Thrown on late in the day as Scotland searched for route back into it.

JAMES FORREST (FOR O’DONNELL, 79) 5

Looked sharp and added an attacking threat late on. Jinked into the box and almost found the back of the net with five minutes to go.
