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.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
