Scotland player ratings as Nathan Patterson silences Everton naysayers with rousing return to form

Krzysztof Piatek's injury-time penalty gave Poland a late 1-1 draw with Scotland at Hampden Park.

In a hastily-arranged friendly match after the Scots' 2022 World Cup play-off semi-final against Ukraine was postponed until June, there was little between the teams until the 68th minute when Kieran Tierney headed in a free-kick from captain John McGinn for his first international goal.

It looked like the Scots were headed for a seventh successive win until the third of three added minutes when Irish referee Robert Hennessy judged Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon had fouled Platek inside the box and the substitute slotted in his spot kick.

Here's how the players rated

CRAIG GORDON

Moved into Scotland’s all-time Top 10 cap holders. Cherished clean-sheet looked to be preserved by Gilmour’s saving clearance until late penalty controversy. 7

NATHAN PATTERSON

Second start in four months and always positive with two strong first-half runs ending with shots on target. Third strike also saved and brilliant cross for header over from Christie. 8

SCOTT McTOMINAY

Good outlet with his composure on the ball and use of it. Escaped booking after crunching Moder with shuddering tackle. Bailed out by Gilmour’s clearance after only slip. 7

GRANT HANLEY

Strong defending and aggressive in the one-on-one jousts. Caught between two as Salamon nodded over. A danger at set-pieces and mostly solid as McTominay and Tierney stepped out. 7

KIERAN TIERNEY

Left-sided centre-back kept a tight grip down his side first-half. Caught too advanced as Piatek got into his channel. Precise header for a first international goal. 7

GREG TAYLOR

Sixth cap at left wing-back and a willing runner up and down the flank. Relieved after losing possession when
