Scotland 1-1 Poland: Krzysztof Piatek rules out Kieran Tierney's first international goal

Daily Mail  

The locals had hoped this would be another night for the ages in Glasgow, when sore throats would be followed by sore heads and one joyous stagger closer to a first World Cup in 24 years. In its place was a friendly with Poland, a non-event before Kieran Tierney’s second-half header, later cancelled out by Krzysztof Piatek's injury-time penalty. Poland drew 1-1 with Scotland on Thursday evening despite Steve Clarke's side taking the lead Kieran Tierney opened the scoring but his goal was ruled out by Krzysztof Piatek's penalty Tierney's effort marked his first international goal and came close to sealing a Scotland win To think, the last match here was a raucous disposal of Denmark, climaxing six straight victories to book a play-off berth. The Arsenal star scored with a header from John McGinn’s inviting free-kick Hampden Park had been subdued until Tierney’s 68th minute intervention ‘I was pleased, I thought we were good. Billy Gilmour was busy and impressive as ever in midfield, but one goal-line block was his most telling contribution and would have helped extend Scotland’s winning run, if not for Piatek’s late deception.
