Ross Stewart makes second appearance for Scotland during Nations League defeat to Ireland

Sunderland forward Ross Stewart made his second appearance for Scotland as the Tartan Army were beaten 3-0 by the Republic of Ireland on Saturday evening. Goals from Alan Browne, Troy Parrott and Michael Obefami sunk Steve Clarke's side to a more than disappointing defeat.

Stewart, who made his international debut in Scotland's 2-0 win over Armenia in midweek, was introduced after 59 minutes with the score already at 3-0 to the hosts. Replacing Southampton forward Che Adams, Stewart struggled to find any rhythm as Ireland recorded their first ever Nations League win.

With just one fixture left before the end of the recent international break, Clarke's side face Armenia in Yerevan on Tuesday evening, hoping to climb back into the top two places of Group E.
