  Allan McGregor

  Was called into action several times in the opening stages as the Scots were pushed back, could have got into trouble for what seemed like a kick-out at Ivanovski when the striker tried to challenge for the ball, made some critical saves in order to keep the Scots in the tournament.

  Alan Hutton

  Has hardly played any club football in the last year and it shows as his reactions were poor and he kept getting caught out as he failed to track back numerous times and his passing was awful.

  Andy Webster

  Was the best of the back four as he coped well with not only the attacks from the visitors, but some of the balls that were played back to him by his midfield.

  Christophe Berra

  Panicked too many times when the Macedonians were going forward, needed the calming influence of Webster to help him throughout, also looked like he could trouble Macedonia at set pieces.

  Gary Caldwell

  The distribution from the Scotland midfielder was shocking at times, especially some of the balls he played back to his defence, he was also bullied by Pandev a lot during the game.

  Paul Dixon

  His sophomore start for the national side wasn’t as good as his first appearance as he was constantly put under pressure Ibraimi and his passing was also lacking.

  James Forrest

  Was caught out for the opener by Macedonia, but eventually when the Scots got the ball to him moving forward, he showed the trickier that has made him a regular for Celtic as he kept running at Popov.

  James Morrison Flop of the Match

  Non-existent in the first half as he continually took the wrong option, running into a cul-de-sac most of the time, didn’t offer enough support to those in front of him, was eventually replaced by Rhodes.

  Jamie Mackie

  Was lively as he attempted to get forward as much as possible and eventually got onto the end of a mistake by the Macedonia defence to set-up the equaliser for Scotland, was substituted for Naismith after being moved further forward.

  Kenny Miller

  Got the boo boys off his back just before the break with a simple goal, continually offered himself as an outlet for the Scotland attack, was eventually replaced in the second half by Adam.

  Didn’t get into the game as much as he would have liked, but kept on trying to get forward and support those in front of him.

  Martin Bogatinov

  Was rarely troubled in the first half by the Scotland attack, though there was nothing he could do with Miller’s goal as his defence let him down, but other than that have had an easy night in Glasgow.

  Daniel Georgievski

  Looked to get forward as much as he could, offering support on the right wing and swinging in some crosses during the game.

  Goran Popov

  The West Brom full back didn’t like it when Forrest ran at him and found the winger a handful, but still managed to offer support going forward.

  Nikolce Noveski

  Was in the right place at the right time in order to give the Macedonians the lead, diverting Trichkovski’s cross into the net, that inspired confidence which lasted throughout.

  Vance Sikov

  Made a horrible mistake just before the break to hand Scotland an equaliser, didn’t look confidence with Miller’s movement and found substitute Rhodes troubling as well.

  Nikola Gligorov

  Had an easy time in the middle of the park, as Scotland offered little in that area and looked to help launch counter attacks for the Macedonians.

  Goran Pandev Top of the Match

  Had a superb game as he was the puppet master for Macedonia, pulling the strings in between the midfield and attack areas for the visitors, set-up numerous chances for his teammates, especially Ivanovski.

  Ivan Trickovski

  Got injured after 35 minutes, but done his job before hand, playing the cross into the box for Noveski to get the opening goal of the game, replaced by Hasani.

  Agim Ibraimi

  Gave Dixon a torrid time as he continually looked to exploit the left back position for Scotland, offered several deliveries into the box.

  Found McGregor a wall that he could not get by, as he was put in on goal, one-on-one against the stopper, but couldn’t find a way past him.
