Gordon Strachan handed Stuart Armstrong his Scotland debut in the crucial 2018 World Cup qualifier against Slovenia at Hampden Park.

The 24-year-old Celtic midfielder was one of six Hoops players in the side which had Parkhead left-back Kieran Tierney at right-back for the first time as the Scots looked to keep ailing qualification hopes alive.

Celtic skipper Scott Brown regained the captaincy as midfielder Darren Fletcher dropped to the bench, while Hoops striker Leigh Griffiths was asked to lead the line.
