Marks out of ten for every Scotland man to get game time at Hampden this evening
One eight, but a few fives...
Scotland team
Shot-stopper could do nothing about either goal but pulled off a string of fine saves to keep the scoreline down. Can be pleased with his display.
Hit the post early on but looked unconvincing at times and questions have to be asked about his positioning for the attack that led to Russia's second
Part of a defence easily opened up time and again by the Russians but popped up with some vital interceptions in the first half
Performed well enough on his debut against stern opposition but didn't look too clever at Russia's second
Linked up well with Fraser in the first half but gifted ball to Dzyuba for the equaliser and found his attacking opportunities limited in the second half as Russia stepped up the pressure
Toiled a bit in midfield and was unusually wasteful from set-pieces. Shifted out wide late on but yielded no joy.
