It was a Scotland debut to forget for Cieran Slicker with the goalkeeper at fault for all three goals in their friendly defeat to Iceland at Hampden Park.

The goalkeeper, who featured for Ipswich for just nine minutes this season, was called on after an early injury to Angus Gunn and his first task was to pick the ball out of the net after Andri Gudjohnsen’s brilliant curling effort.

George Hirst passed up a brilliant chance but John Souttar did nod home from Max Johnston’s corner as Scotland pulled level.

It was a short celebration from the Tartan Army before Lewis Ferguson sent the ball past a struggling Slicker and into his own net to see Iceland ahead at the break.

22-year-old Slicker’s night went from bad to worse after the break when Victor Palsson’s header went through his hands for Iceland’s third.

Nothing went right for Steve Clarke’s side with VAR denying George Hirst his first international goal, although a debut for 18-year-old Lennon Miller showed promising signs for the future.
