Scotland debut ‘a dream come true’ for Devlin
Scotland's Nicky Devlin (centre) reacts after the UEFA Nations League Group A1 match at Hampden Park

NICKY DEVLIN was left feeling like one in a million after making his Scotland debut in the goalless draw against Portugal at Hampden Park.

Amid a raft of call-offs, the 30-year-old Aberdeen full-back was drafted into the international set-up for the first time by Steve Clarke for the Nations League double-header against Croatia and Portugal.

Devlin sat on the bench for the 2-1 defeat in Zagreb on Saturday but in the final minutes against Portugal he replaced Anthony Ralston and helped the Scots to their first point in the section by making a crucial block from substitute Rafael Leao.
