Scotland manager Gordon Strachan has claimed that his team can become a "decent side" following their victory over Czech Republic in Prague on Thursday night.
The Scots claimed their second win in seven internationals against the Czechs thanks to a 10th-minute goal from Ikechi Anya.
Scotland are not preparing for this summer's European Championships as they failed to qualify, but they are shaping a team for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, which begin in September.
"After a slow start in the first half I thought the Czech Republic played very well but I think we allowed them to play," BBC Sport quotes Strachan as saying. "I thought [Allan] McGregor was fantastic.
"We didn't close people down. Once we sorted that out in the second half and passed the ball it became a different game. The group have made it a good night. We are not a great side but we can turn ourselves into a decent side by working hard. It was great learning in the first half about how small things can change a game.
"The players can be pleased with themselves, I don't think anybody needs to be worried about their performance."
The result has given Strachan back-to-back wins for the first time since March 2014.
