Raging Ronaldo stomps his feet against stuffy Scotland as Hampden is no home for Portugal icon – 5 talking points

Scotland shut down Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal to get their First Nations league point on the board - and avoid a record fifth straight defeat.

There was to be no late heartbreak this time as the Tartan Army rose to applaud a diligent defensive performance against the eighth best side in the world. Roberto Martinez’s side bossed possession but Scotland could have nicked the win.

Scott McTominay and Ryan Christie both went close to opening the scoring while Ronaldo and Nuno Mendes tested Craig Gordon in a goalless first half. After the break Che Adams headed back across goal when he should have gone between the posts while Tony Ralston wasted a superb chance to create for McTominay when he burst clear on the right but his low cross was way too far in front of the midfielder. But it was Gordon who literally saved the point for Scotland with a superb stop to deny Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandez from close range with just two minutes left on the clock. Here's 5 talking points.

FORGET 5 IN A WOE

Scotland were staring at an unwanted record of five defeats on the bounce. But they dug in and produced a huge defensive performance when needed to stop the eighth best side in the world. It might now be 16 games with just win but this clean sheet - a first in 16 games outwith the Gibraltar friendly - was every bit as rewarding psychologically as a three pointer. Grant Hanley and John Souttar marshalled the defence brilliantly while Craig Gordon was on form behind them when required. Every player worked his socks off. The only complaint might be that the big chances went begging at the other end.
