Sebastien Pocognoli's second match as Scotland head coach ended in disappointment as Switzerland comfortably prevailed 3-0 at Hampden in a Nations League B1 encounter.
The Scots faced an uphill battle from very early on after centre-half Jack Hendry was dismissed after eight minutes for bringing down Dan Ndoye and denying the Swiss winger an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
Ricardo Rodriguez scored from the resultant free-kick - a penalty was originally awarded but downgraded by VAR - and the Swiss rarely needed to get out of neutral, let alone first gear as Scotland were left chasing shadows.
Switzerland defender Nico Elvedi added a second on 55 minutes when he stole in ahead of Oli McBurnie to net an Ndoye cross and then Zeki Amdouni completed the scoring with a powerful effort beyond Scotland keeper Angus Gunn.
Scotland failed to trouble Swiss keeper Gregor Kobel and are now four games without a goal, with Pocognoli's next two matches against North Macedonia on Saturday in Skopje before welcoming Slovenia to Glasgow on Tuesday.
We give each player a mark out of ten for their performance at Hampden:
13. Ben Gannon-Doak
Pocognoli turned to the 20-year-old in an attempt to add some thrust to the attack, but the Bournemouth man most spent of the half hour he was on the pitch in a defensive position. 3 | SNS Group
14. Ryan Christie
Came on for Gilmour as Scotland's legs started to go in midfield. Unable to get a foothold in the match. 3 | SNS Group
15. Robbie Ure
Denied any service and spent the last 30 minutes largely chasing shadows. 3 | SNS Group
16. Josh Doig
Earned his second cap by coming on for Robertson towards the end of the match. n/a | SNS Group
