A thrilling 3-2 win over familiar foes Israel at Hampden last Saturday had the Tartan Army bouncing before a gritty and somewhat lacklustre display in Tórsvøllur saw them grind out a narrow 1-0 victory.
Steve Clarke didn’t make too many changes between the two fixtures after so many had put in battling performances against the Israelis and a few did see that perfromance level drop either slightly or significantly for the second fixture.
Here are how the players rated with a combined score across both fixtures:

. Kevin Nisbet - Overall rating: 2/10
Played no part in the win over Israel and was a 83rd minute sub against Faroe Islands. Was unable to make any substantial impact on the game so late on with Lyndon Dykes goal coming just three minutes later. Photo: Stu Forster
. Liam Cooper - Overall rating: 3.1/10
Came on as a late sub in both matches to see the games out after Scotland had taken the lead. Didn't put a foot wrong but played less than ten minutes across both fixtures Photo: MADS CLAUS RASMUSSEN
. Ryan Fraser - Overall rating: 4.8/10
Didn't feature in the Israel match and came into the starting line up at right wing back for the game in Tórsvøllur. Was anonymous in the first half but did have more joy going forward after the break with some decent deliveries to the box before being replaced in the 83rd minute. Photo: Ian MacNicol
. Che Adams - Overall rating: 5/10
Was forced off injured in the second half of the Israel match having caused the defence a few problems with his runs in behind although he did have one big chance he perhaps should have done better with in the opening minute Photo: Ian MacNicol
. Grant Hanley - Overall rating: 5.5/10
Missed the Israel match through suspension but came into the starting line up in Tórsvøllur. He dealt with what little threat the home side were able to offer with composure but didn't provide his usual threat from set pieces when chances came Photo: Ian MacNicol
