George Hirst scored his first international goal and Ché Adams grabbed a hat-trick as Scotland eased to a 4-0 victory against Liechtenstein.
Ipswich striker Hirst got Scotland’s third goal in the Vaduz friendly early in the second half with a close-range finish on his fourth cap. Adams was on target twice in the first half after scoring only once in his previous 19 internationals and the Torino forward headed home with the last action of the game.
It was a night of firsts for Scotland with Ross Doohan, Josh Doig, Andy Irving, Connor Barron and Kieron Bowie making their debuts and Lennon Miller making an impressive first start with a hand in two goals. Doohan flew in from a family holiday in Turkey after being given his first call-up after injuries to Angus Gunn and Robby McCrorie, and Cieran Slicker’s difficult debut in Friday’s 3-1 defeat against Iceland. The goalkeeper, recently released by Aberdeen, probably had the quietest game of his career, not needing to make a save and barely touching the ball in the second half.
With Scott McTominay and Kieran Tierney injured, 18-year-old Motherwell midfielder Miller and Adams came in as Steve Clarke arranged his side in a 4-4-2 formation. Anthony Ralston, Jack Hendry and Scott McKenna came into defence as Clarke made six changes to the lineup.
