Who 'battled impressively' for Scots? And how did you rate players?

Scotland were well beaten by Switzerland in their second Nations League match, as the visitors cruised to victory in Sebastian Pocognoli's first home game in charge.Jack Hendry's 11th-minute red card proved too much for the Scots to overcome as they fell to a 3-0 defeat. Here's how we rated Scotland's players - and you can give your marks below.Angus Gunn – Beaten on his side of the goal by Ricardo Rodriguez's powerful free-kick for the opening goal. Good saves either side of half-time to deny Ndoye, but beaten by power again for Zeki Amdouni's third goal. 4Jack Hendry – Roasted for pace by Dan Ndoye and clumsily brought the striker down to earn a deserved red card, leaving Scotland down to 10 early on. 2Luis Binks – Brondby defender's first act was a rash late tackle. Slow to close down Ndoye and prevent the cross that set-up Nico Elvidi for Switzerland's second goal, but otherwise did not look out of place. 5Scott McKenna – The majority of the Swiss threats came from wide but defender dealt with most of what came his way. 6Nathan Patterson – Had his hands full with the pacy Ndoye down Switzerland's left. Struggled to make any impression as an attacking force. 5Andy Robertson – Usual willingness to get up and down the left flank yielded little reward on his 99th Scotland appearance. 6Lewis Ferguson – A few timely interventions on the edge of his own box, but saw little of the ball as the Swiss midfield took firm control. 5Billy Gilmour – Looked most likely to make something happen for Scotland in early stages but faded as the Swiss took control and hooked before the hour mark. 5John McGinn – Struggled to influence the game in the way we know he can. Scotland need to find a way to get him into the positions where he can do some damage. 5Kieron Bowie – Sacrificed early for Stephen Welsh following Hendry's red card. 5Oli McBurnie – Battled impressively as a lone striker after Bowie's departure and caused problems for the Swiss defence. 7
