Scott McTominay's late double secured Scotland a comfortable winning start to their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign at home to Cyprus.
John McGinn's close-range finish - the Aston Villa midfielder's 16th goal for his country - was reward for a dominant first-half display.
Substitute McTominay eased increased nervousness around Hampden with a clinical 87th-minute finish.
And the Manchester United midfielder added his second moments later.
Steve Clarke had billed it as a must-win game against Group A's lowest seeds, who ended the game with 10 men after a late red card for Nicholas Ioannou, and it was job done in that sense.
But the Scotland head coach will know that, despite their first winning start to a Euro qualifying campaign since 2006, improvement will be needed as top seeds Spain visit on Tuesday.
