Who was Scotland's stand out? How the players rated

Ismael Saibari's second-minute goal condemned Scotland to a 1-0 World Cup defeat by Morocco in Boston and leaves their hopes of progression from Group C in the balance.

BBC Sport Scotland's George O'Neill assessed how the players performed – and you can see how BBC Sport readers rated them at the bottom of the page too.

Scotland starting XI

Angus Gunn - No chance for Saibari's early goal. Strong saves to deny Achraf Hakimi and Bilal El Khannouss. 6

Nathan Patterson - Off the pace early on and struggled against El Khannouss. One great cross that led to Scotland's best chance of the opening period. 5

Grant Hanley - Caught out for the opening goal trying to play Saibiri offside. A mistake that ultimately proved costly. 4

Jack Hendry - Brilliant block to deny Saibari a second goal, deflecting his shot onto the crossbar. Solid throughout and his pace and reading of the game averted danger on multiple occasions. 7

Andy Robertson - Full of his usual energy and endeavour. Dealt well with Hakimi's threat and created a couple of half-chances. 6

John McGinn - Tried too much on occasion, but won a couple of free-kicks in the first half. Wanted a second-half penalty after winning the ball back and driving forwards. 5

Lewis Ferguson - Plenty of graft in the heart of Scotland's midfield. Kept things ticking over. 6

Ryan Christie - Always wanted the ball, which was vital against Morocco's midfield quality. Fizzed a good chance over the bar. 6

Scott McTominay - Struggled to get into the game at any stage. Could feel hard done by not to get a penalty late on. 5

Kieran Tierney - Asked to play an unfamiliar role on the left-hand side of midfield. Came off injured and will be a doubt for the Brazil game on Wednesday. 5

Che Adams - Largely isolated, but unable to hold the ball up and get his side up the pitch. Only managed 11 touches in 70 minutes, with more of those in Scotland's box than Morocco's. 4

• Scotland's World Cup knockout hopes remain alive despite defeat
• Flawed but relentless Scotland show themselves as men of substance
• Should Scotland have had two penalties & been playing against 10 men?

Scotland substitutes

Ben Gannon-Doak (60 mins) - Gave Scotland an out ball and some much-needed pace, but failed to carve out any meaningful chances. 5

Kenny McLean (71 mins) - His usual reliable self in midfield. Happy to take the ball in tight areas. 5

Lyndon Dykes (71 mins) - Headed wide when unmarked from a corner. Occupied Moroccan defenders better than Adams. 5

Anthony Ralston (89 mins) - Not on the pitch long enough to have an impact. 5

Ross Stewart (89 mins) - A similar story to Ralston. 5
