Craig Levein in Hearts No1 Craig Gordon 'twiddling his thumbs' reference to dominant Scotland win

Former Scotland boss Craig Levein has hailed Scotland's win over Ukraine as 'unbelievably good' as he made reference to Craig Gordon 'twiddling his thumbs'.

Steve Clarke's men picked up a stunning 3-0 win to kick-off the international week in style thanks to goals from John McGinn and a double from substitute Lyndon Dykes. The victory took the Dark Blues top of the section with nine points from four games with Republic of Ireland to come on Saturday before a second meeting with Ukraine.

Victory means Scotland currently sit two points clear of last night's opponents with their League B Group 1 destiny now in their own hands ahead of the final two games of the six day triple-header. It wasn't all positive with former Rangers kid Nathan Patterson - a star performer for Everton this season - stretchered off while Celtic star David Turnbull is set to leave the squad through injury. He will join Ibrox No1 Jon McLaughlin, Jacob Brown and Grant Hanley from missing out in this run of games through injury.
