Motherwell striker David Clarkson was delighted to have marked his senior Scotland debut with a goal in the 3-1 friendly defeat in the Czech Republic.
The 22-year-old found the net with a smart turn and shot just 14 minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute in Prague.
Clarkson said after the game: "Overall I'm just thrilled, because just being involved in the squad is something I look upon as a great achievement.
"I just came here looking to enjoy it and that's what's happened. It's a magnificent time for me.
"I couldn't have ever imagined this happening to me a few short months ago, as a kid you only dream of playing for your country.
"When I got the call I was made up because I didn't ever expect it. I didn't want to get my hopes up in case I didn't get a game."
