Scotland player ratings in Brazil World Cup humbling as top man lands 6 amid 4s and 3s

Scotland's World Cup hopes took a major dent after signing off their Group C campaign with a 3-0 defeat by Brazil in Miami.

Steve Clarke's men finish the pool phase in third place on three points and will now face an anxious wait to discover if they are one of the best-ranked third-placed teams.

Their goal difference of -3 may count against them and they will head back to their Charlotte base looking for favours elsewhere and licking their wounds after a masterclass from the Brazilians.

Clarke made four changes to the team that started the narrow 1-0 defeat by Morocco last time out. Scott McKenna came in at centre-half, Kenny McLean was put in midfield, Ben Gannon-Doak was deployed out wide and Lawrence Shankland started up front. Kieran Tierney, Grant Hanley, Ryan Christie and Che Adams made way.

Scotland started the game well and were composed, but shot themselves in the foot dreadfully on seven minutes. There seemed little danger when McKenna had possession under minimal pressure from Rayan, but he lost control of it and his clearance was blocked by the winger. The ball fell to Vinicius Junior and he rounded keeper Angus Gunn and finished easily.

Another gift came on 22 minutes, this time from McKenna's central defensive side-kick Jack Hendry. He dallied too long and Vinicius nicked the ball off him and netted. However, VAR Guillermo Pacheco spotted a foul on Hendry from the Brazilian forward and the goal was ruled out.

The hydration break came at a good time for Scotland, who regrouped. They forced a flurry of corners but were able to make any of them count. At the other end, the lively Rayan blazed over after creating some space on the edge of the penalty box.

Scotland survived a greater scare right on 45 minutes when a combination of Hendry and Nathan Patterson blocked an effort from Matheus Cunha on the goalline. They were clinging on for half time but they couldn't hold out.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, John McGinn was outmuscled, Bruno Guimaraes swung in a cross that Gunn was caught under and Vinicius Jnr headed in from close range.

It could have been 3-0 right before the whistle, but Gunn made an excellent save from Rayan after sublime Brazilian build-up play.

Kieran Tierney came on for captain Andy Robertson at the break and he set up Scotland's first effort on target on 49 minutes, swinging in a cross that Scott McTominay headed straight at Brazilian keeper Alisson.

Normal service resumed swiftly. Two minutes later, Vinicius Jnr was sent through on goal but Gunn spread himself well and saved.

The third goal came on the hour mark. Brazil sliced Scotland open again and this time Cunha slotted home after good work from Bruno Guimaraes.

Scotland were on the floor. A goal was badly needed. Tierney was wiped out on the edge of the box. Ferguson's free-kick was beaten away by Alisson, who then parried a McTominay header.

Brazil went hunting for more goals and Gunn made another good save from Vinicius Jnr. McTominay saw a close-range effort saved in stoppage time. The margin of defeat ended up three goals. Now it's a waiting game for Scotland.

We give the players marks out of ten for their performances against Brazil.
