How the Scotland players rated in excellent 1-0 win over Austria
Scotland have moved into second place in their World Cup qualification group after a huge victory in Vienna moved them above their hosts and Israel, who were thumped in Copenhagen by Denmark.
After failed to impress in either of their previous two games, there wasn’t much expectation that Steve Clarke’s side could get the job done, but the team, to a man, produced a terrific performance that saw them earn a valuable three points.
Lyndon Dykes netted the only goal of the game from the penalty spot after the VAR officials spotted a foul on his strike-partner Che Adams.

5. RWB - Stephen O'Donnell - 7
Made lots of great runs down the flank to offer an option and was solid defensively. Shame his final ball let him down a few times. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group / SFA
6. MRC - Billy Gilmour - 8
His composure on the ball, the ability to turn into space regardless of pressure, is so vital to this Scotland team. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
7. DM - Callum McGregor - 9
Arguably his best game in a Scotland jersey. His movement, dribbling and use of the football were all excellent. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
8. MLC - John McGinn - 8
Always seemed to be a threat driving the ball forward from midfield and supporting the front two. Set up a great early chance for Lyndon Dykes. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group / SFA
