DAVID MARSHALL 6 No chance with goal and very little else to do.
LIAM PALMER 7 Started the game well but careless pass straight to Schetkin allowed Kazakhs to open the scoring. Picked himself up to have a positive showing attacking down the right.
DECLAN GALLAGHER 7 Motherwell man looked comfortable on his second appearance. Dominant in the air and decent on the deck.
SCOTT MCKENNA 6 Stood way too far off Zainutdinov to allow him to smash home the opener, but settled down after the break and looked more assured.
GREG TAYLOR 7 Constant threat down the left linking with Forrest and set up late goal for McGinn.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 7 Buzzed around the midfield always making himself available for the ball and starting Scotland attacks.
RYAN JACK 7 Chiefly in to be midfield anchor, but was positive going forward and almost got equaliser. Good range of passing.
JAMES FORREST 7 Burst past two opponents to set up a chance for McGregor, then went close to putting Scotland ahead in second half.
JOHN MCGINN 7 Scotland’s goal machine got a bit of fortune with equaliser as his free-kick hit Islamkhan and rocketed into the net, then made it seven for the campaign at the death. Always a threat.
RYAN CHRISTIE 7 Picked up nice areas in behind Naismith and played some lovely passes to release Palmer down the right.
STEVEN NAISMITH 8 Usual nuisance and earned two free-kicks right on edge of the area, the second of which was dispatched by McGinn. Passed up some good chances, but rewarded for perseverance by bundling home Scotland’s second.
SUBSTITUTES
OLIVER BURKE 3 Got last quarter of an hour in place of Naismith and won a couple of flicks.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
