Angus Gunn – Very fortunate not to concede after spilling a fairly routine shot. Otherwise, Haiti's erratic finishing meant he was not overly tested. 6

Aaron Hickey – Lapse in concentration early on almost cost Scotland dear, but one vital intervention to deny Ruben Providence. 6

Jack Hendry – Great bit of defending to prevent Wilson Isidor from heading home. Largely restricted Haiti to efforts from long range. 7

Grant Hanley – Solid display from the big centre-back. Great ball over the top to Adams which led to McGinn's goal. 7

Andy Robertson – Some outstanding deliveries from wide on the left could have brought more goals. Linked-up well with McGinn. 7

Ben Gannon-Doak – Pace and directness caused alarm bells in Haiti backline every time he got the ball. Final delivery can still frustrate, but he has become Scotland's chief creative force. 9

Scott McTominay – Unlucky to see a curling effort come crashing off a post. Robbed of possession in dangerous areas on a couple of occasions. Short of his imperious best. 6

Lewis Ferguson – Anticipated and cut out the danger on numerous occasions as the Haitians broke at pace. 8

John McGinn – Scored Scotland's first goal at a men's World Cup since Craig Burley's strike against Norway at France '98. Missed a huge chance for a second. 8

Lawrence Shankland – Did his defensive work, but struggled to get into the game. Unable to find the sort of form in his goalscoring displays in the warm-up games against Curacao and Bolivia. 6

Che Adams – Great run and exquisite first touch in build-up to McGinn's opener. Partnership with Shankland did not quite click. 6
