Grant Hanley - Looked favourite to win the ball as he came across to sweep but misjudged and stumbled to allow Armenia to take the lead. Endured a tough opening half hour. 5

Nathan Patterson - First start since ankle surgery and the Everton player can be satisfied with his performance, which featured an assist. 6

Billy Gilmour - Forced a decent save and looked tidy in possession. 6

Callum McGregor - The Celtic midfielder showed little sign of fatigue on his 63rd appearance of the season and 29th birthday, racing back to stop a dangerous break at one stage. 7

Greg Taylor - Took time to settle but delivered some decent crosses and forced a save. 6

Stuart Armstrong - Two brilliantly-taken goals and an assist, the midfielder provided real attacking thrust. 9
