Scotland continued their unbeaten start to World Cup qualifying with a confident and comfortable win over Belarus in Hungary.
The match was played in surreal conditions behind closed doors in a neutral venue as Belarus are banned from staging home matches in their own country because of their government’s support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Scotland saw nearly all of the ball – they had 82% possession in the first half – but had Angus Gunn to thank for a key save while the game was goalless.
Che Adams then opened the scoring with his 10th goal for his country, sliding in to convert an excellent header across goal from Scott McTominay.
McTominay’s Napoli team-mate Billy Gilmour struck a post and Ben Gannon-Doak excelled on the left before an own goal doubled the lead for Steve Clarke’s side.
Another good ball in from Adams found Gilmour attacking the far post, and his header back was turned in by Zakhar Volkov.
Scotland saw the game out easily, with Adams having a shot cleared off the line, and have four points from their opening two games to share an almost identical record with Denmark – who were 3-0 winners in Greece.
