Scotland player ratings as Callum McGregor swaggers into Hampden Hall of Fame with Cyprus stroll

Scotland got off to a winning start in their bid to reach Germany next summer as they swept Cyprus aside at Hampden.

John McGinn netted his 16th goal for his country while substitute Scott McTominay netted a late brace to add a bit of gloss to the Group A opener. Angus Gunn made his debut between the sticks and kept a clean sheet while midfielder Callum McGregor made his 50th appearance to earn his place in the Hampden Hall of Fame. Steve Clarke can be happy with the afternoon's work but knows there will be stiffer tests to come - starting with Spain on Tuesday.

But the strength of the Scotland squad was underlined by the quality that came off the bench with Lyndon Dykes replacing Che Adams, now a doubt for Spain, and Ryan Christie, McTominay and Nathan Patterson all coming off the bench. Here, Record Sport rates the players.
