The Scots blazed ahead and finished with a bang as we stayed alive

Andy Robertson headed home a sensational injury time winner in his 80th cap to keep Scotland’s hopes of saving their Nations League Group A skins alive.

However there was nothing that could stop Piatkowski as the defender arrowed a sensational leveller past Gordon, from 20 yards, in the 59th minute. Lukasz Skorupski brilliantly saved Lyndon Dykes’ header as Scotland hunted down a winner. And it arrived in the third minute of injury time as Robertson thumped home John Souttar’s cross to ensure Clarke’s troops jump above the Poles and into third spot.

Captain Fantastic What a way for skipper Andy Robertson to celebrate his 80th cap - which moves him level third with Darren Fletcher in Scotland’s all-time appearance list. His thumping header in injury time was his fourth goal for his county and fittingly it came in the same venue where he won his first cap, 10 years ago, in a 1-0 friendly win over the Poles. At 30 you’d think there’s every chance the left back could be the first to bust Kenny Dalglish’s record 102 caps.

Doaky Coaky Steve Clarke’s pre-match tease about leaving out Ben Doak proved to be nothing more than a bluff. Whether the Poles fell for it or not we’ll never know but the wee winger was superb again. Another assist for McGinn’s opener - that’s now four goal involvements in six caps for the teenager. And after a man of the match performance against Croatia on Friday where he had Josko Gvardoil on toast it was the turn of Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior to be left dazed by the Doaky cokey.
