Sizzling Scotland were too much for Ukraine to handle as they secured a stunning 3-0 triumph to secure a vital Nations League triumph at Hampden.
John McGinn netted the opener as he used his famous rear to gain the advantage before swivelling to strike midway through the second half. Ryan Fraser and Lyndon Dykes came off the bench and soon combined to put Scotland two ahead in the 80th minute. And the pair were at it again to make it 3-0 shortly after.
The hosts lined up with a back four in a change of formation from recent times, having improved when Scott McTominay moved from a back three into midfield during their World Cup play-off defeat by Ukraine in June. There was a blow for the Scots in the 25th minute when Nathan Patterson, who had picked up a knee injury, was replaced by Brentford's Aaron Hickey. The Everton right-back was taken away on a stretcher with Ukraine coach Petrakov going over to offer support.
