Steve Clarke insists Scotland achieved a triumph over adversity in Armenia after revealing his players were dead on their feet trying to restore pride in their country.
The dark blues boss was delighted with the spirt of his side after recovering from going a goal down to the minnows and going on to blow them away with a stunning Stuart Armstrong double and long-overdue strikes from Che Adams and John McGinn.
Armenia finished the game with nine men after an ill-disciplined display and Clarke believes the 3,300 mile long-haul flight and a recent punishing schedule has taking a heavy toll on his team and he's refused to offer them up as excuses for recent losses to Ukraine and Ireland.
