Wolves striker Chris Iwelumo has backed himself to bounce back from his embarrassing miss during Scotland's goalless World Cup qualifying draw with Norway.
The 30-year-old frontman has netted eight times in just seven games for the Championship club this season, but missed an open goal from just three yards on his debut for the full national side on Saturday.
"I'm obviously gutted," he said. "I had a big chance and I should put them away so I'm disappointed.
"I just have to bounce back and keep positive.
"I was confident and I put my foot out and it hit the heel, but I'm a big character and I'll take that one on the chin and move on.
"I'm my own worst critic and it's definitely something I'll be thinking about."
