BBC Sport Online assesses the performances of Scotland's players after the dismal 2-2 draw in the Faroe Islands.
1- Robert Douglas - The Celtic goalkeeper was hopelessly exposed for both goals and powerless to stop them. Was kept on his toes by a very shaky defence. Made a great save in the closing stages as the Faroes chased a winning goal. 6 2- Maurice Ross - Did little other than lump the ball forward from the right back position. Taken off after 75 minutes. 5 3- Stephen Crainey - Lack of first team appearances for Celtic were painfully apparent as the left full back was given a roasting by the lively Jakub Borg, the source of both goals. 3
5- David Weir - Yards off the pace for the Faroes second goal. Dragged out of position with alarming regularity and, along with Dailly, looked very frail in central defence. Lucky not to be ordered off for a violent challenge. 3 6- Barry Ferguson - Prompted and probed throughout the second half, but failed to create many openings. Finished with composure for Scotland's equaliser. 6 7- Paul Dickov - Looked out of place wide on the right of midfield. The Leicester striker's distribution was very poor and it was no surprise that he was replaced at half-time. 2 8- Scott Dobie - Achieved nothing in the first half as a striker and was moved to the right flank in the second half, where he continued to be anonymous. 3
10- Paul Lambert - The skipper made little impact in the middle of the park and lost out in several challenges. The shot that lead to Scotland's first goal was a terrible miscue that found the net via two deflections. 5 11- Allan Johnston - Missed a glorious chance to get Scotland back in the match when his sidefoot volley found the sidenetting in the 39th minute. Had a couple of weak long range shots on goal and snatched at half-volley from a good position late in the second half. 5 13- Stevie Crawford - Appeared at half time and looked lively. Several neat touches to link the forward play. The Dunfermline striker had one clear sighting of goal but shot straight at the keeper. 6 16- Graham Alexander - Came on with 15 minutes to go as a replacement for Maurice Ross. 3 17- Stevie Thompson - A late substitute, the Dundee United striker was denied by a brave save from Knudsen. 2 |
