New Scotland cap Andrew Robertson went into his first international determined not to be overawed by the occasion.

The 19-year-old continued his sharp ascent up the football ladder when he came on midway through the second half of Scotland's 1-0 friendly victory over Poland in Warsaw.

Gordon Strachan praised the Dundee United left-back for embarking on a 30-yard surge up the wing with his first touch and Robertson admitted he was focused on playing his normal game as Scotland beat their Euro 2016 rivals thanks to Scott Brown's impressive strike.

Robertson's bursts down the wing took him in direct contact with Poland captain Lukasz Piszczek, the Borussia Dortmund right-back who played in the Champions League final last year, when Robertson was still with Queen's Park in the Third Division.

"You can't think too much about it," he said. "You have every right to be on the park, the same as him. He is a very good player but you can't over-think about who are you up against. You just concentrate on your own game.

"It was a proud moment for me and my family. Some of them were there cheering us on and the other ones that weren't there I'm sure were very happy at home."

Robertson's confident approach has helped him progress to being an ever-present for Dundee United this season following his summer move from Hampden.

But even he finds his rise difficult to comprehend sometimes, especially after being reminded that 12 months before his international debut he was playing in a 5-3 win at Elgin in the Third Division.

"First of all it was a massive win that night, it pushed us towards the play-offs," he joked.

"But, no, it is a wee bit scary to look back and think then I'm playing in that kind of stadium with the players I was playing with.

"But it's just about having confidence in yourself and a good family background. That has pushed me on."

Meanwhile, Scotland forward Ross McCormack knows their victory over an under-strength Poland will count for little when they return to Warsaw in competitive action in October.

But he believes their third consecutive away win will help maintain the momentum they have built up under Strachan.

Poland were without injured Borussia Dortmund pair Jakub Blaszczykowski and Robert Lewandowski and did not seriously trouble David Marshall in goal.

The victory stretched Scotland's unbeaten run to five matches and they have only conceded once in that spell.

But McCormack said: "Listen, that won't matter whenever we play in the qualifiers. They have got Blaszczykowski and Lewandowski to come back in so we're under no illusion that, because we beat them in a friendly, we will beat them again.

"It's momentum and momentum is a big thing in football. That's a few games unbeaten now and it's important.

"It's another clean sheet so the back four is growing in confidence and we believe, if we keep clean sheets, we have players in forward areas that can influence the game. It bodes well for the future."

The Leeds forward feels a more attacking ethos has helped them build under Strachan, who replaced Craig Levein in January, 2013.

"It's hard to pinpoint anything, the boys have just been playing well and have the confidence and freedom to go and express themselves," he said.

"Everyone really enjoys meeting up. We've got great banter, there are a few characters and it's really good to be a part of."
