Scotland won 2-1 against the Republic of Ireland in their final home UEFA Nations League B Group 1 section
The nation was in a buoyant mood as it came into the game knowing two draws would seal promotion to League A and boost their Euro 2024 hopes following a 3-0 midweek win against Ukraine. But as Tartan Army hero John McGinn made his 50th appearance in navy blue, Stephen Kenny's side struck a major blow when John Egan headed home from a corner.
They had already had the ball in the net via Troy Parrott but it was ruled offside, as Steve Clarke's men were very quickly brought back to earth and told they were in a game. Jack Hendry levelled things up and Ryan Christie from the penalty spot to make sure Scotland sit on 12 points and in first place ahead of the final group encounter with Ukraine. Here is how we rated the players from Scotland's latest encounter at Hampden.
