Scotland were yet again left in the shade at the Stadium of Light as Cristiano Ronaldo bagged his 901st career goal to hand Portugal a late Nations League win in Lisbon.
Three days on from being beaten by Poland’s 97th-minute penalty at Hampden, there was further despair for Steve Clarke’s side as they were undone by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s strike three minutes from time.
It had all looked so promising, however, when Scott McTominay bagged his second of the campaign to put the Scots ahead just seven minutes.
But with Portugal piling on the pressure, Clarke’s side were pegged back when Angus Gunn allowed a Bruno Fernandes strike to spill through his grasp nine minutes after the interval.
