How every Scotland player rated in Iceland friendly defeat
Angus Gunn - 5/10 Goalkeeper's night came to an abrupt end six minutes in. Gunn went up to claim a high Icelandic ball inside his own area and fell harshly on his right leg. After attention from the medical specialists, the man without a club was forced to come off, a painstaking look written over his face as he limped towards the tunnel. Debutant Cieran Slicker replaced the 29-year-old. Max Johnston - 7/10 Making his first Scotland start, the full-back caught the eye. Fresh off the back of winning the Austrian Bundesliga, Johnston spread his legs down the right-hand side and proved a threat going forward. Showed his architectural instincts when whipping a teasing corner towards the back post from which John Souttar drew the Scots level. Read more: John Souttar - 7/10 Rangers man made it 1-1 with a fine header. Souttar adeptly made use of his physical frame to power away from his marker and divert the ball into the back of the net for his second international goal. Had little to do in the way of defending. Grant Hanley - 6/10 Steve Clarke's loyalty to Hanley, a man who played most of his football last season in England's third tier, is at times questionable. Scotland's defence wasn't continually under pressure for spells, and the veteran did make an eye-catching run forward at 3-1 Iceland, only for his shot to be saved well. Kieran Tierney - 6/10 Defender registered his 50th cap, taking up a familiar role on the left side of a traditional back three. Had the license to maraud forward, linking up with skipper Andy Robertson. Celtic supporters will have been pleased to see the full-back come through unscathed as he prepares to make an emotional return to Parkhead this summer. Andy Robertson - 6/10 Robertson got up and down the left-hand side with ease and proved a real attacking threat for Scotland. His decision-making in the final third lacked at times, though, with some of his crosses either overhit or blocked. Lewis Ferguson - 5/10 Bologna captain had a relatively quiet evening in the engine room. The ball unfortunately deflected off Ferguson to restore Iceland's lead right on half-time. He remained helpless in the stramash, and Slicker should likely have done better to prevent the own goal from transpiring. John McGinn - 4/10 A poignant pre-match moment saw a minute's silence held in memory of McGinn's late grandfather, Jack. The 30-year-old's most notable involvement in the match, however, was when he kicked the ball at an opponent in frustration after tracking back and fouling. Billy Gilmour - 5/10 A quiet evening for Gilmour, who looked to keep play ticking over in a deep-lying midfield role. Napoli man completed a full 90 minutes but didn't do much of note. Scott McTominay - 6/10 Scudetto winner was the liveliest of Scotland's midfielders. Drove forward from the engine room countless times and looked like the threat he usually is. One of his runs saw the ball bounce off Iceland stopper Elias Olafsson and into the path of George Hirst, who tapped into an empty net, only for his goal to be disallowed for offside. George Hirst - 5/10 Ipswich Town forward proved a threat on his maiden Scotland start. Should have had the ball in the back of the Iceland net in the first half when he was presented with a free header six yards out. Hirst then forced Olafsson into the save of the night just prior to the hour mark. Substitutes Cieran Slicker (Gunn 6') - 2/10 Keeper made just one club appearance last season, and it showed. Although young Slicker was making his senior international bow, one would expect better. Presented the ball to the feet of Andri Gudjohnsen for Iceland's opener before it slipped through his arms and into the back of the net to make it 2-1 to the visitors after a stramash in the box. Bad got worse for the 22-year-old in the second 45 when Victor Palsson's diving header went straight through his palms. Lennon Miller (Tierney 69') - 6/10 A memorable moment for the teenager, who was introduced with just over 20 minutes to go for his senior Scotland bow. Miller didn't have much of an opportunity to impact proceedings on a considerable level, but Friday evening won't be the last we see of him in dark blue. Scott McKenna (Hanley 69') - 5/10 Centre-half had little to do in the way of defending when he came on in place of Hanley. Numerous passes along the backline and into midfield, a theme of Scotland's evening, were played by McKenna. Che Adams (Hirst 69') - 5/10 Involved to an extent when introduced, although had next to no chances in front of goal. Nathan Patterson (Johnston 81') - 5/10 Made his return to the international scene with a late cameo. Similarly to his fellow substitutes, Patterson didn't contribute much to a dull display. Conway (McTominay 81') - 5/10 Striker was thrown on in a late plea to salvage something. His and Clarke's efforts were sadly of no avail.

Club legend Colin Cameron ousted as Raith Rovers appoint Andy Kirk as Barry Robson's new assistant
Assistant-manager Colin Cameron has left Raith Rovers to be replaced by Andy Kirk. Cameron has been ousted as part of a changes to Barry Robson's backroom staff at Stark's Park this summer. The 52-year-old started his playing career at Raith before leaving his hometown team in 1996 for a move to Hearts. The midfielder had subsequent spells with Wolves, Coventry City and Dundee before moving into management at Cowdenbeath. And he then returned to his first club in 2022 as number two to Ian Murray, who he had worked with for a short spell at Airdrie. He survived a change in manager at Rovers last season when Murray was sacked and replaced by Neill Collins. With Collins then being replaced by Barry Robson in December, Cameron saw out the season as part of the ex-Aberdeen manager's backroom team. A hall of fame member from his playing career, he has been a popular figure with the first-team squad through all the changes. However, it has been decided to shake up Robson's staff for next term and the former Scotland internationalist has fallen victim to the changes. A statement read: 'After three seasons as assistant manager, Rovers legend 'Micky' Cameron is now set to move on. 'We'd like to say a huge thank you to Micky for his contributions during his time in the dugout and wish him all the best in his next chapter.' As revealed by Courier Sport, Andy Kirk is the man Raith have turned to as replacement for Cameron. Kirk has been been removed from his role as St Johnstone assistant-manager, with boss Simo Valakari keen to move in a different direction and get his own men in following relegation from the Premiership. Kirk was taken to McDiarmid Park as Craig Levein's number two following a spell coaching at Hearts and stints as manager of Hearts Women and Brechin City. The former Northern Ireland internationalist spent five years as a player with rivals Dunfermline but has built a growing reputation as a coach since hanging up his boots in 2014. A Raith statement said: 'Raith Rovers Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Kirk as the club's new assistant-manager. 'As Barry Robson continues to build his squad, Andy was identified as a key figure he wanted to add to his backroom staff.'
