3 talking points as Scotland recover from horror start to blow nine-man Armenia away in Nations League

Scotland overcame a false start against Armenia, running out 4-1 winners in their final Nations League clash of the summer.

That familiar sinking feeling was washing over the Tartan Army after just six minutes. Grant Hanley failed to cover himself in glory for the second game in a row, being outmuscled by Tigran Bersegyan on the far side.

Scott McTominay was caught sleeping in the middle, and the ball was cut back for Vahan Bichakhchyan to fire the hosts into the lead.

Eight minutes later, Scotland were thankfully level.

Jack Hendry clipped a ball into the box for Che Adams, who took a touch before attempting an overhead kick.

That didn't come off, but the ball fell kindly for Stuart Armstrong, who stroked home his third international goal to calm the nerves.

There was nothing calm about Scotland when Bersegyan got in behind and turned Hendry, leaving him on the deck, but the Club Brugge defender recovered well to make a vital tackle from his grounded position.

Things swung in Scotland's favour just 90 seconds before the break after Armenia were reduced to ten men.

Kavo Hovhannisyan put in a terrible tackle on Patterson before going head-to-head with McGinn, earning himself a stupid quickfire second yellow.
