Andrew Robertson, the Hull City full-back, is adamant that he was not overawed by the challenge of playing against Manchester City's expensively-assembled squad on Saturday, despite having only been playing in the lowest tier of Scottish football a year ago.

The previous 12 months have taken the 20-year-old from Queen's Park, to Dundee United and then the Barclays Premier League club Hull and the senior Scotland squad.

He arrived at the KC Stadium in the summer following a £2.8m move from United, a fee which seemed like small change on Saturday as he chased after such as Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure of City, who won 4-2.

Robertson, who is expected to be named in Gordon Strachan's squad today for the forthcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers against both Georgia and Poland, did not feel out of place.

"It was a great experience, although I don't think you will get a much tougher test against the champions, the best team in the league," said the left-back, who missed the defeat by Germany through injury. "I've come a long way. I look back at the players I've played against and now the ones I'm playing against and these are probably some of the biggest names in the world. But once you are out there, it is just 11 versus 11 and you just as much earn the right as them, so you don't show them that much respect.

"It was a great experience and learning curve for me and all the boys. I thoroughly enjoyed it, just a shame we couldn't get a positive result."

The weekend was more profitable for Chris Martin, the Derby County striker ending a month-loan goal drought by scoring twice in a victory over Sky Bet Championship rivals Bolton Wanderers. Martin's next target will be a place in the Scotland squad for the upcoming qualifiers.

"I tried to tell myself before the game to keep going and to keep positive," he added. "I am lucky that I get good service at this club. I remain confident and stay calm, then I know I am going to get the chances."
