Luxembourg v Scotland: How Scotland players rated
JORDAN RHODES was Scotland’s stand-out figure, contributing two goals to the game, but how did other players, including several debutants, fare?
Matt Gilks
Held a first-half header from Mario Mutch but almost palmed Bensi’s header into the net after the interval. Helpless at goal. 6/10
Steven Whittaker

Hide AdNeeds games after injury and it showed at times but he was still comfortable throughout. 6/10
Paul Dixon
Got forward into some excellent attacking positions from left-back and supplied cross for opening goal. Again looked suited to international level. 8/10
Grant Hanley
Fairly sold defensive display from the young Blackburn centre-back. 6/10
Christophe Berra
Not as commanding as he can be, perhaps unsettled without Gary Caldwell or Andy Webster beside him in defence. 6/10
Darren Fletcher
Slightly subdued display from the captain, who players would have looked to for inspiration during a poor second half. 6/10
Charlie Mulgrew
Protected the back four and used the ball well. Taken off at half-time. 6/10
Andrew Shinnie
Got forward for the shot which rebounded for Rhodes to score his second goal. Looked more than comfortable. 7/10
Steven Naismith
Plenty of energy from the Everton man, who caused most problems after the break. 7/10
Kenny Miller

Jordan Rhodes
Two goals and another ruled out for offside. The Blackburn striker must be a first pick for qualifiers next year. 9/10
Liam Kelly (for Mulgrew, 46)
International debut for Kilmarnock midfielder, who competed well. 5/10
Leigh Griffiths (for Shinnie, 70)
SPL’s top scorer won his first cap and was desperate to score. 4/10
Murray Davidson (for Rhodes, 89)
First St Johnstone player to play for Scotland for 80 years. No time to make an impact. 1/10
