Scott McTominay has branded Georgia's players a 'disgrace' for their behaviour during Scotland's 2-2 draw in Tbilisi.
The Manchester United midfielder - who scored his seventh goal in seven matches for his country - insisted many of the Georgians tried to influence the referee and acted like 'cry babies'.
The game was stop-start, with there being numerous stoppages for the hosts as their players stayed on the ground after fouls were awarded by the officials.
It clearly frustrated McTominay and his teammates on the field, and he's publicly criticised Scotland's opponents post-match.
"That was part of the message coming into the game, looking to play well and win the game, but certainly don't lose the game," he said. "Every game at this level is big.
"Tonight, the way they were reacting on the pitch, I thought they were a disgrace in terms of provoking the referee and us as players. It's not the way it should go. Anyway, that's football and that's sometimes the way it goes. We have to keep our heads but it's difficult.
"There's some disappointed people in the dressing room but I feel like it's something we can build on after coming back twice.
"They should do something about people pretending that they're injured when they're not. It's a difficult one to call but rolling around, crying like babies all afternoon is not football. For us we just wanted to get on with the game and play and do our best. Whereas the other side was provoking the referee a lot."
He continued: "For us, we've had some really good nights and we'll also have some not-so-good nights when we don't play quite as well. It's important on the nights that we don't play as well that we still stick together and try not to lose and most definitely try to win.
"A lot of it is about keeping your head, picking the right passes and being a little bit more patient around their box, try to move them around. We'll go and analyse it and hopefully, on Sunday we'll be much better.
"The substitutes made a big difference. That's what the manager demands when you do go out on the pitch. You show something and you bring something additional to the team. All of the guys who came on made a big impact and Shanks scored a brilliant goal."
Asked if complacency played a part given qualification for next summer was secured last month, McTominay added: "Do you know what, not at all. The messages we've had since we've been away have been more of a firm talking to in terms of 'come on, we need to wake up again, we've lost three games in a row against England, Spain and France'."
