European Qualifiers: Gordon Strachan lauds Scotland's 1-0 win over Georgia
Monday 13 October 2014 10:30, UK
Scotland manager Gordon Strachan believes his side were 'outstanding' in their 1-0 win over Georgia in the European Qualifiers.
A first-half own goal from Akaki Khubitia was enough to give the home side all three points ahead of Tuesday’s game with Group D rivals Poland.
And despite perhaps feeling a few nerves late on, with Georgia’s Irakli Dzaria missing a golden chance, Strachan was delighted with a performance he hailed as a "manager's dream".
He said: "In the first half you're thinking, 'must win, and a good performance would be good as well', but to get a great performance after losing the first game with the pressure on, to play that way was absolutely outstanding.
"We practiced most days of the week to play against three men at the back and then they switched to four so to reorganise and play such stunning football is really impressive.
"To create that many chances against a good side, a side that can break away to cause you problems, to create so many good chances and not just throw the ball in but have lots of variation, that's a manager's dream."
