Cristiano Ronaldo scored two minutes from time as Scotland fell to a 2-1 defeat to Portugal in the Nations League. The 39-year-old tapped in from close range from Nuno Mendes’ whipped cross for his 901st career goal as Steve Clarke’s side’s poor run of results extended to one win in 14 games.

Earlier the visitors had taken a surprise lead in Lisbon when Scott McTominay peeled away at the back post to convert Kenny McLean’s cross, before Angus Gunn’s error in the Scotland goal allowed Bruno Fernandes to level with a tame long-range effort.
