Manchester United star Scott McTominay said Scotland showed 'big balls' in the 2-2 draw with Austria.

The Tartan Army fought back twice to secure a point in their opening 2022 World Cup qualifier.

"It was a positive point and it is one we need to build on in terms of how we approach games," McTominay said, via the Glasgow Times.

"We need a bit more arrogance and belief in ourselves that we can go and dominate teams like that. We can do that even though they are a very good team.

"We came from behind twice which must be a positive. We showed big balls to come back and we have to improve on that next week."

McTominay usually plays at centre-back for Scotland, but Steve Clarke played him in his natural midfield position against Austria.

"That's my position," he said. "Wherever he wants me to play, if that's in midfield, the right side of a three, the middle of a three, a pivot or a number eight – I'm more than happy to do so.

"Me and the manager haven't spoken about anything position-related. It's always about how the team can improve, little things that I can do and things I'm doing well.

"For me, wherever he wants me to play I'm more than happy. I know there are a lot of people talking about where I should play, but that's up to the manager. He's the one who decides, nobody else can do that."
