Scotland signed off the March international break with a 1-0 defeat by Ivory Coast at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Ivorians landed the victory in Liverpool thanks to a 12th-minute goal from Nicolas Pepe and then showed their defensive qualities to see out the win.
Scotland battled away but were unable to truly break down a well-organised side that is also heading to the World Cup, with goalkeeper Alban Lafont not tested sufficiently by the Scottish forward line.
It means Scotland have fired a blank twice in the past three days after Scotland lost 1-0 to Japan on Saturday at Hampden.
Scotland’s next matches will be against Curacao and then Bolivia before Scotland head to the World Cup and play Haiti, Morocco and Brazil in Group C of the tournament.
We give the Scotland players a mark out of ten for their performances against Ivory Coast.
