Who was the pick of Scotland's players again?
[BBC] Scotland fell to a 3-0 Group C defeat to Brazil in Miami to leave their hopes of qualifying for the last 32 of the World Cup in real danger. BBC Sport Scotland's Andy Burke was in Miami Stadium and rates how each Scotland player performed. And you can let us know how you rated them below. Scotland's starting XI Angus Gunn – Caught in no-man's land for second goal, but produced a string of huge saves to keep the score down and possibly keep Scotland in the World Cup. 6 Nathan Patterson – Some excellent interventions to snuff out danger as Vinicius Jr broke into the box. Looked to get Scotland up the pitch whenever he could. 7 Andy Robertson – Showed attacking intent going forward, but gave the ball away on the edge of his own box which led to Brazil's second goal. Replaced at the break. 5 Jack Hendry – Fortunate to get away with a lapse in concentration for Vinicius Jr's disallowed goal, but other than that slack moment, very assured on the ball. 7 Scott McKenna – Preferred to Grant Hanley, but horrendous early error gifted Vinicius Jr Brazil's opener. 4 Kenny McLean – Neat and tidy in possession, but shrugged off too easily by Bruno Guimaraes for Brazil's third goal. 6 Lewis Ferguson – Once again the pick of the Scottish midfielders. Always available for a pass and a couple of decent attempts on goal. 7 John McGinn – Well short of his influential best. Just could not find a way into the game. 5 Scott McTominay – Much like Morocco, quiet for an hour before getting himself in position to threaten in the box. Struggling to impose himself on this tournament. 6 Ben Gannon-Doak – Lively as in the early stages but faded as match wore on. Fluffed a decent opening towards end of first half. 6 Lawrence Shankland – Some neat link-up play but again failed to get the sort of chances he thrives upon. 6 Scotland's substitutes Kieran Tierney (46 mins) – Two terrific deliveries to set-up McTominay headed chances. A positive impact. 6 Anthony Ralston (82 mins) - On for Patterson. No time to shine. 5 Ryan Christie (82 mins) - Replaced Gannon-Doak but could not impact on the game. 5 Findlay Curtis (91 mins) - On for McGinn. Did not get involved. 3 Che Adams (91 mins) - Had a handful of minutes in place of Shankland. 3 Check out the knockout stage as it stands How to watch the World Cup on the BBC
