Dundee United goalkeeper Rado Cierzniak would love two things to happen tonight when Poland play Scotland.
The first is for his country to win the match and the second is for his Dundee United team-mate Andrew Robertson to make a dream debut for the Scots.
The patriotic Pole has been winding up Robertson in the build-up to the friendly game, suggesting that it should be an easy victory for them over Gordon Strachan’s side.
The banter even continued in the dressing room at Easter Road on Friday night after United’s 3-1 win over Hibs, a result that sent Robertson on his way to Warsaw on a real high.
All joking aside, though, Cierzniak would be delighted to see his young clubmate grace the international stage this evening.
“I spoke to Andrew and told him it will be a very good experience for him in Poland,” said Cierzniak.
“It is a friendly game but it can really help him if he plays this match. He is still very young so he can learn a lot.
“I have been reading what has been getting written about the national team back home. Everyone is saying that it is a big game and a good test for Poland because we have a new coach and new staff.
“The expectation is very, very big for this Polish team. It should be a good game in a big stadium with a large crowd.
“I have been joking with Andrew about it and shouted at him after the Hibs game: ‘Come on Poland!’ I said to him that it will be 3-0 to us but I was smiling at the time.
“I always support my team so I could not say that I want Scotland to win but I do want Andrew to get on the pitch and play well.
“Everything is possible for him now. When we chatted I said to him that just last year he was in the Third Division but now he is getting his chance with his national team.
“Football can be like this. It can be amazing. It is fairytale stuff.”
Of course, tonight’s clash in the National Stadium will provide at least some clues as to how the teams will fare in the forthcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers.
The Scots have been drawn alongside Poland in Group D along with favourites Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Georgia and Gibraltar.
Cierzniak has been telling anyone who will listen back home that Strachan’s men should not be under-estimated.
“I think everyone in Poland was happy but not too happy with the draw,” he said. “We have to be switched on for these qualifiers because we did not get through to the World Cup.
“So the expectation for these games is very big. I know Scotland have a strong team, though, with a lot of players playing in the Premier League and Championship in England. It is not an easy group and I have told people back home that.
“I have said that they should not be excited that they have Scotland because every player is in a strong team. There has to be respect for Scotland from people in Poland.”
As for his own hopes of a cap, it is not a surprise that he is being realistic about that, given his country’s abundance of talented keepers.
Asked if he thought he had a chance of playing for Poland any time soon, he replied: “I think the answer is no. Of course it is my dream and I would love to play for my country.
“But this position is too strong. There are a lot of good goalkeepers from Poland. We will see and if I can play very good for my club then who knows?”
