Here SunSport rate the players after the victory.
ANGUS GUNN – Got away with a casual clearance early on when it bounced off Yevgeny Malashevich. Saved from Kirill Pechenin and Max Ebong as Scotland lived dangerously for a while in the first half. 7
MAX JOHNSTON – First competitive start for Scotland and nearly created a goal by planting a cross in the six-yard box for Scott McTominay. Defended well and got involved up the park as well. 7

JOHN SOUTTAR – Great defensive clearance in the first half to deny Belarus a chance when Scotland got ragged for a spell. Should have scored with a first-half header but nodded Andy Robertson’s cross over. 7
SCOTT MCKENNA – Dinamo Zagreb defender had to be alert to the Belarus pace on the break but covered their runs well. Always keen to get on the ball and build attacks when Scotland had possession. 7
ANDY ROBERTSON – Scotland skipper got high up the pitch plenty when Scotland were on top but none of his crosses were converted in the end. Dovetailed well with Gannon-Doak down the flank. 7
BILLY GILMOUR – Recalled to the starting line-up after missing out in Copenhagen and came agonisingly close to scoring but had his effort from the edge of the box tipped onto the post. 7
JOHN MCGINN – Superb left-footed cross to the back post for McTominay to nod down for Adams’ goal. Late chance to make it three but just got crowded out by the Belarus goalkeeper. 7
LEWIS FERGUSON – Lucky he didn’t get seriously injured by a reckless tackle from Vladislav Kalinin in the middle of the park which left him writhing in agony. Amazingly, the Belarus midfielder didn’t walk. 7
SCOTT MCTOMINAY – So often Scotland’s scorer when it matters but was provider this time, cushioning a header down for Che Adams to turn home. Should have nailed a header himself. 7
BEN GANNON-DOAK – The name Scotland fans craved on the team sheet and clearly his team-mates were the same since they fed him at every opportunity. Livewire every time he got the ball. 7
CHE ADAMS – Great striker’s finish reading McTominay’s knockdown before turning the ball home from close range. Lovely dink over for the second and should have scored a third late on when clean through. 8
