Andy Robertson could not hide his smile on his face as he described a 'really excited' changing room after Scotland beat Norway 2-1 in dramatic circumstances.
Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean's late strikes put the Scandinavian side to the sword despite Erling Haaland inevitably scoring a penalty on the hour mark, in a win that now sees Scotland at the top of their qualifying group after winning three from three in a remarkable campaign. Spain and Cyprus have also fallen victim to Steve Clarke, and fans will be beginning to dream of a trip to Germany next summer.
Robertson, as per, put up an immense performance on the left-hand side of the defence and should have bagged an assist himself, being the tireless bundle of energy that Scotland needed on the counter. And he couldn't hide how buzzing the fans, players and staff were with the comeback - and especially with match fitness lacking.

He told Viaplay: "It's a really excited changing room. It’s the warmest we’ve probably played in a long time, it’s so hot.
"We knew we had to be careful, we knew we had to use our whole bench, we knew that was going to come into to play. The lads that came off the bench did so well for us. Look, we had a gameplan and obviously giving away a penalty is always difficult going behind against a good team but we knew this was the next step in our improvement.
"We had to come away to a top team and try to get a win and we’ve managed to do that. We looked at it, everyone looked at it (Ukraine and Ireland losses last year), we went for a pre- camp last week.
"It was tough work to be fair to us!"
