Lebanon, who fought out two tense draws with Ireland in the World Cup qualifiers, let slip a 4-0 lead against Scotland to go down 22-10 on a quagmire of a pitch at Glasgow's Old Anniesland.

Scotland took the lead, despite being down to 11 men through the sin-binning of forwards John Cox and Iain Morrison - who was shown a second yellow card just before the end.

Brendan Lindsay, James Nixon and Kevin Henderson scored Scotland's tries - and Mick Nanyn kicked five goals.

"The win perfectly epitomised the spirit in our camp, especially keeping Lebanon at bay when we down by two men," said Scotland coach Steve McCormack.

"That was a fantastic effort.

"We are not a team full of superstars but we will always work hard for each other."
