Celtic pair Greg Taylor and James Forrest combined well to help give Scotland the lead in Cyprus.
Forrest drove down the left hand side, dragging two players with him before giving the ball to his Celtic teammate, Greg Taylor.
The overlapping left-back fired a cross into the box, where Aston Villa’s John McGinn guided the ball into the net.
Scotland conceded a goal after half-time to a sensational strike from Cyprus’ Efrem.
