Super McTominay Saves the Day: Scotland Player Ratings vs Switzerland

Scotland’s Euro 2024 hopes remained alive thanks to a vital 2-0 win over Switzerland, with Scott McTominay starring in a crucial performance.

The Manchester United midfielder was the standout performer, earning a 9/10 rating for his dominant display in midfield. McTominay controlled the game with his physicality and precision passing, creating chances and providing crucial defensive cover. His 70th-minute strike sealed the victory, silencing the doubters and proving his importance to Steve Clarke’s side.

Other notable performances:

John McGinn (8/10): The Aston Villa captain was a tireless force, dictating the tempo and providing creative spark. His clever interplay with McTominay was key to Scotland’s success.
Andy Robertson (7/10): The Liverpool full-back was a constant threat down the left flank, delivering dangerous crosses and providing defensive solidity.
Che Adams (7/10): The Southampton striker led the line with energy and determination, holding the ball up effectively and creating chances for his teammates.

While the team overall played with grit and determination, some players struggled to make an impact:

Ryan Christie (6/10): The Celtic midfielder was unable to replicate his recent form, lacking the usual sharpness and creativity.
Billy Gilmour (6/10): The Brighton midfielder struggled to impose himself on the game, making few impactful contributions.

This vital victory puts Scotland firmly back in contention for a place at Euro 2024. They face a crucial clash against Israel in their next fixture, needing a win to secure qualification. McTominay’s performance will have given the team a huge boost of confidence, and the hope remains alive that Scotland can make it to Germany next summer.
