Scotland manager Steve Clarke: “I wasn’t happy with the start. The game didn’t reflect how well Curacao actually played, the scoreline ran away from them a little bit. At 11v11, we had a little bit of work to do.
“We had to get a lot of players on the pitch just to give them a chance to play again. Quite a lot of them haven’t had many minutes through the second half of the season, and I think that showed towards the start of the game.
“We’re not too sure how bad Billy Gilmour’s injury is right now. He will be assessed overnight, fingers crossed that the wee man is fine.
“I said already, it will be a squad tournament, not just a starters tournament, so next week is about getting used to the climate and the heat, and then for 60/65 minutes there will be a strong side out against Bolivia.”
Scotland goalscorer Findlay Curtis: “I’m buzzing, it’s everything I’ve dreamed of, I’m delighted to get that spot in the World Cup.
“My mum and dad are in Tenerife, I booked for us all to go, and then I couldn’t go, so they’ll be over there watching with pride. I can’t believe everything that’s going on at the minute, I just need to soak it all in.”
Scotland goalscorer Lawrence Shankland: “We wanted to go to America on the back of a win and it was important we got that.
“The start of the game was quite difficult and we got fortunate with the red card but after that, we looked like the only team that was going to score.
“Every goal you score for your country, you’re delighted. It’s a special day, I had my kid as the mascot as well.”
