<\/p>\n

Scott McTominay and Scotland were left frustrated by a stubborn Northern Ireland side who ran out 1-0 winners at Hampden Park.<\/p>\n

It was the first win for Northern Ireland against Scotland since 1983 and the first in Glasgow in half a century.<\/p>\n

The home side absolutely dominated the ball with a mammoth 83% possession but despite having more shots on goal, they rarely carved out any real chances of quality.<\/p>\n

McTominay was involved early on in the proceedings as he drove at the Northern Ireland defence and was taken down by fellow United academy graduate, Paddy McNair.<\/p>\n

However, he failed to impress with a rare opportunity from the free kick he won, as his effort cannoned back off the wall.<\/p>\n

The rest of the half was relatively quiet for the United midfielder as he was frustrated by a disciplined Northern Irish back five.<\/p>\n

He did however have a long range shot which fizzed wide of Bailey Peacock-Farrell’s goal in the 43rd minute.<\/p>\n

The United midfielder continued to cut a frustrated figure throughout the second half as he got into more than one argument with the highly impressive Northern Irish fullback, Trai Hume.<\/p>\n

McTominay was awarded a decent score of 7.2<\/a> from Sofascore and he was incredibly efficient with the ball, completing 32 out of his 35 passes.<\/p>\n

The midfield man had 46 touches but in the context of his side dominating the ball so much, it was a poor return as he faded in and out of the game.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old had a frustrating night in front of goal as he failed to have a shot on target and had two blocked efforts.<\/p>\n

He was successful in terms of ground duels, winning all six of his efforts.<\/p>\n

The United man also completed his two dribble attempts in the first half.<\/p>\n

However, despite finishing the night as captain, boos rang around Hampden Park as Northern Ireland held on for a famous win.<\/p>\n

Scotland must now wait until June to right the wrongs of this result as they prepare for the start of their Euro 2024 adventure.<\/p>\n

McTominay will hope to bounce back and play as important a role on Saturday against Brentford as he did in October, when he scored a brace<\/a> that gave the Red Devils all three points.<\/p>\n
