Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney was left frustrated by the refereeing during Scotland's friendly with Poland on Thursday night. The Gunners left-back scored his first ever goal for Scotland in a 1-1 draw.
The two sides played out the draw at Hampden Park and Tierney headed in from close range to put Steve Clarke's men 1-0 up with just over 20 minutes left to play. The 24-year-old was over the moon to finally score for his country, joking that he had scored more at the wrong end in an interview after the match.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I didn't even know if there was VAR, so, for a minute, I was thinking: 'Is this onside or offside?' But obviously it’s good to get a first goal.

"That's me got one goal and one own goal for Scotland so that’s me even. It was just the shock.
"When do I score a header? I was buzzing, great ball in by John McGinn and the set-piece coach, Austin (MacPhee) works a lot on that."
However, the Gunners left-back was left bemused by the official's decision to hand the away side a late penalty. Krzysztof Piatek went down rather easily in the company of centre-have Grant Hanley and goalkeeper Craig Gordon.
"The penalty at the end wasn’t a great way to finish the game," Tierney added. "I was asking: 'Who was it? Was it Craigy or Grant?'
"And I don't think he knew, he never said anything. I never saw it, from my eyes it looked like nothing and that was why I was asking.
"But I never got an answer. I know it’s a friendly, but this could have been a competitive game easily enough and you want to see games like that out when you’re winning by one goal, against a team that’s higher seeded.
"So, we’re obviously gutted to lose the goal and the clean sheet."
