Andy Robertson's last-gasp winner in Poland means Scotland live to fight for their place in Nations League A.

The skipper marked his 80th cap in spectacular fashion as his 92nd minute header saved the Scots from relegation and set up a March play-off. The Liverpool defender's first international goal in five years sparked jubilant scenes in the Warsaw away end as the Tartan Army celebrated a remarkable comeback in Group A1 to finish third having gone through the first half of the campaign without picking up a single point.

It was definitely a night to remember but it's fair to say one Polish reporter got a bit carried away during a post-match interview with John McGinn. The Aston Villa midfielder spoke to the press pack after his third-minute opener put him fifth in Scotland's all-time scorers list with 20 goals, moving him ahead of Ally McCoist.

But in a hilarious moment with a local journalist, McGinn couldn't help but chuckle when asked: "One of the greatest today, in the history of Scottish football, because it was very Braveheart. Especially at the end."

Grinning McGinn was quick to play down the victory, responding: "Aw, you're taking it a bit too far! It was a good win." You can watch the clip below:
