SCOTLAND grabbed an encouraging draw in Thun last night thanks to a last-minute goal from Norwich City youngster Cameron King as caretaker boss Ricky Sbragia did his hopes of succeeding Billy Stark no harm at all.

Sbragia was put in temporary charge of the Under-21s after Stark's resignation this month.

Although outplayed for long spells of the friendly, he was encouraged by the way his side battled on for their injury-time reward.

Afterwards Sbragia was non-committal about his chance the job and said: "We tried to contain them first half, but they were a good footballing team and they got the forwards on the ball.

"Our final ball was poor, but we survived. We tried to squeeze them higher and when we did that later in the game we got more joy.

"We threw caution to the wind a bit. We were 1-0 down and had nothing to lose. Maybe we should have started that way and we gave them too much time and space.

"The Swiss are a good side - you can see they've got some really good individual players.

"Maybe we gave them too much respect, but the longer the game went on we wanted to bring some forward-minded players on to try and get the goal back."

Sporting Lisbon ace Ryan Gauld came close to giving the Scots the lead early on. After collecting the ball outside the box, he nutmegged Martin Angha, but his shot was well saved by Swiss keeper Mirko Salvi.

The Swiss dominated and when a corner was headed by Marcus Fraser against a colleague the ball fell perfectly for Le Mont midfielder Musa Araz, who fired home.

But Scotland stunned their hosts with almost the last kick as Stephen Hendrie of Hamilton cut the ball across from the left and King slotted it in.
