A trip to Dublin awaits Steve Clarke's side, who take on struggling Republic of Ireland on Saturday.

Then it's Armenia again - this time in Yerevan on Tuesday - to complete their opening Nations League triple-header.

Thanks for your company this evening, and don't forget to watch Sportscene at 22:40 on BBC Scotland for the highlights of tonight's Hampden victory.

Scotland boss Steve Clarke is keen to highlight the contribution and leadership of captain Andy Robertson tonight.

“It was important to refresh the team [after the Ukraine loss]," Clarke says. "It was also important for the boys that played last week and went to go again. I’ve got to mention the captain, I thought he was outstanding.

"He was outstanding in the dressing room before the game. Himself, John McGinn, and Callum McGregor are leaders to take us onto the pitch for three good performances but I thought the captain tonight was exceptional.

“Just in general, as a leader, it’s a role that Andy’s really grown into. Sometimes he doesn't quite get the mentions that maybe he should."

On Anthony Ralston, Clarke adds: “It’s great to score a goal on your debut for Scotland, eh?

"I thought he was good, I had no real doubts about him because he plays for Celtic against opposition that sits in and defends and makes it difficult for them.

"So I knew he’d find the right positions on the pitch and certainly when he got the goal it was the right position.

On Scott McKenna, he adds: “He did well. I thought the whole back three did well together as a unit.

"Obviously it was good for Scott to get the goal and if he hadn't been quite so impetuous and got himself half a yard offside he could have got a double!"

Steve Clarke is full of praise for his Scotland side's performance, saying: “The way we approached the game, the speed we moved the ball, the positions we took up against a very defensive team, are all things that pleased me.

“We knew we’d have to work hard to break them down and that’s what we did. We kept trying the right thing at the right time and eventually we got the goals.

“Professional footballers, you have to move on, you can’t think about the last one, you have to think about the next one.

"We want to have a good campaign in the Nations League and tonight was a good start."

We'll hear from Scotland manager Steve Clarke shortly...

Scotland's opening scorer Anthony Ralston tells Premier Sports: "It felt amazing, to make my first start and to get my first goal, it's a lot to take in.

"I enjoyed every minute of it and I’m just happy to have contributed to the team.

"It’s a very proud moment to be standing there singing the national anthem with my family here tonight too.

"It’s every footballer's dream to play and score for your country."

Scotland goal hero Scott McKenna tells Premier Sports: "It was good tonight, it was a fresh start for us and it was important we got the result.

"We got the two goals in the first half and in the second half we kept the ball and it was a solid performance.

"It was probably one of the easiest goals I have ever scored, John [McGinn]’s put in a great ball and I just guided it in.

"On another night we could have had more goals and we were sold at the back as well."

Okay, we know it's still early days, but Scotland top the standings in Group B1 thanks to tonight's opening win.

The Scots lead Armenia - who have played a game more - and Ukraine on goal difference.

Republic of Ireland - beaten 1-0 at home by Ukraine tonight - are rock bottom with zero points from two matches.

It also sets an unwanted Irish record of 10 competitive home games without a win.

Yes Sir I Can Boogie blares out as the Scotland players take time to applaud the fans who have turned out in this soggy summer weather.

Too soon for the party tunes?

Ach, why not? This was an emphatic win, utterly one-sided from minute one to 93.

Sterner tests await in this group but a winning start was essential and some of the gloom from last week has been lifted.

Scotland are off to a winning start in the Nations League.

Anthony Ralston and Scott McKenna each scored their first international goal with first-half headers to see off stuffy Armenia.

Scotland could easily have won by more, hitting the woodwork either side of the interval amid a glut of chances, but Steve Clarke's side have put their World Cup misery behind them with a positive performance.

Armenia work the ball well to carve a shooting chance, but Craig Gordon dives to his right to hold the curling strike from Barsehgyan.

Scotland are soon back on the attack and John McGinn - yep, him again - has an effort saved by Yurchenko.

There was a huge grin on the face of Anthony Ralston as he left the park to loud applause - and not just because he was missing this almighty downpour.

The 23-year-old never stopped running during a very productive 75 minutes and is already a firm favourite with the Tartan Army.

John McGinn continues his personal mission to get on the scoresheet.

This time he links with Callum McGregor then fires narrowly over to remain stuck on 12 Scotland goals.

Sunderland striker Ross Stewart gets his first Scotland outing as he comes off the bench to replace Ryan Christie.

Having netted 26 goals in the Black Cats' promotion-winning campaign, can he find one here?

Also on is fellow striker Jacob Brown, with Che Adams the player to depart.

So close to a third! John McGinn latches on to Che Adams' lay-off and thunders a shot off the crossbar.

Actually, credit to Armenia keeper Yurchenko - he got a touch to it. Cracking save.
