Scotland player ratings in World Cup win over Haiti: 8/10 star men, unsung hero and celebration

Marks out of ten for the Scotland players in Group C opener

Scotland have kicked off their World Cup campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Haiti in Group C

John McGinn scored what proved to be the winning goal on 28 minutes when his effort from a Che Adams rebound was deflected home.

Thousands of Scotland fans were inside the Boston Stadium in Foxborough to witness the nation’s first win on the global stage since 1990, when they overcame Sweden 2-1 in Genoa.

They were made to work by a stubborn Haiti side that pushed the Scots all the way to the end, but a strong defensive performance saw them through.

Scotland sit top of the group after the opening round of fixtures after Brazil and Scotland drew 1-1 earlier in the day.

The next match for Scotland is against Morocco, also in Foxborough, on Friday night before facing Brazil in Miami on Wednesday, June 24.

Here are our player ratings from Scotland 1-0 Haiti.
