How the Scotland players rated in nervy 1-0 win over Faroe Islands

Scotland edged past the Faroe Islands to take another step towards the World Cup play-off places.

Lyndon Dykes scored a late winner – his fourth goal in succession – to secure the three points in what was a tricky night in Torshavn.

The home side had the better of the first half and created their fair share of openings but for Scotland it was all about the win even if the performance left a lot to be desired.

Victory means Steve Clarke's men are now just a win away from securing a World Cup play-off spot with the next match against minnows Moldova in November.
