Marks out of ten for the Scotland performances against Belarus - plus match gallery

Scotland posted their first win of this World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-0 win over Belarus in Hungary.

The Scots built on their impressive performance away to Denmark on Friday, when they drew 0-0 in Copenhagen, by prevailing over the Belarussians at an eerie ZTE Arena in Zalaegerszeg, with the game being played behind closed doors at a neutral venue.

Scotland took their time in breaking down the hosts, but eventually snapped the deadlock on 43 minutes when Che Adams slid in to convert from close range after a header across goal from Scott McTominay.

The game was sealed on 65 minutes when Belarus defender Zakhar Volkov poked the ball past his own keeper after Billy Gilmour headed an excellent Adams through-ball across goal.

Scotland now have four points in Group C ahead of facing Greece on October 9 and then Belarus on October 12, both back at Hampden Park.
