France 3 - 0 Scotland: How the Scots rated in Metz

DAVID MARSHALL: Made smart saves in both halves to keep the scoreline respectable. 7 out of 10

RUSSELL MARTIN: Was guilty of giving the ball away at times on a tough night for Scotland’s back four. 5

GORDON GREER: Struggled to contain France’s forwards throughout and allowed Koscielny a free header as France scored their third. 5

GRANT HANLEY: Made some important blocks but generally struggled to cope with a very attacking France side. Was beaten to the loose ball by Giroud as the Arsenal striker scored his second. 5

ANDREW ROBERTSON: Got forward well at times in the first half but dived in unnecessarily in the build-up to Giroud’s opener. 5

JAMES McARTHUR: Showed some nice touches as Scotland attempted to keep possession. 6

DARREN FLETCHER: Had a steady game but gave the ball away in the build-up to France’s second goal. 5

ROBERT SNODGRASS: Made some crisp passes in the first half but could not make much of an impact. 5

SHAUN MALONEY: Broke forward at speed but had little support in the final third. 6

MATT RITCHIE: Linked up well with Robertson in the first half and caused a few problems out wide. 6

STEVEN FLETCHER: Quiet and mostly ineffective as Scotland failed to create many clear-cut chances. 5
