World News – GB – Lyndon Dykes rides Scottish wave against Slovakia

Lyndon Dykes reckons Scotland is getting better and better after his goal sealed a 1-0 win over Slovakia

Dykes now has two goals in four internationals and has helped Scotland extend their unbeaten seven to seven games

The victory at Hampden allowed Scotland to remain at the top of Group B2 of the Nations League and continue their steady progression

Steve Clarke’s side now have the chance to consolidate their position by hosting the Czech Republic on Wednesday in their last game before a Euro 2020 play-off final in Serbia

« As the game progressed we started to create more chances and have a little more confidence, » said Dykes

« We played a long game the other night, 120 minutes, but we kept pushing towards the end and had a few more chances As the game progressed we got better

« When the goal came in I really thought everyone’s shoulders dropped and relaxed a bit more and that’s when we started to have a few more chances

« Everything was positive, but we will focus on the next game to make sure we are still at the top of the group. Hope we get the three points and I get a hat-trick »

“I really enjoyed coming to camp in Scotland with the boys,” he said “I feel at home and I love getting away from them and learning They are a great group of guys I’m sure we have a bright future ahead of us

« Everyone knows that when you go to the internationals you don’t have a lot of time to work on things and what the manager wants. But every time I come, regarding training, we just get better, we understand better The team is doing better and I think we are freezing well « 

Scotland was helped by an even more recent addition, Andy Considine, who made his debut at the age of 33

“Emotional, to be honest with you,” he said “It’s been a long time since I’ve been involved with a Scottish organization, but I guess I still think someday you might get the ‘call

« I’m 33 now and obviously getting the call the other day was completely out of the ordinary But on the moon and thrilled to be a part of such a great victory and keep a clean sheet It was a fantastic night

« It was very nerve-racking, I’m not going to lie But to have the quality around you helps you throughout the game, Robbo (Andy Robertson) on one side of me and Big Deccy (Declan Gallagher) on the other, told me about the game But I have enough experience of playing European football with Aberdeen which helps « 

Robertson made a reservation, for kicking the ball, which rules him out of Wednesday’s game, and Clarke has said he might look to call another defender
