Former Rangers right-back Nathan Patterson has broken his silence after suffering an injury against Ukraine.

The Scotland defender was stretchered off in the first half after a collision led to him appearing to hurt his knee.

While the extent of the injury is not yet known, the Everton player has taken to Instagram to praise Scotland's performance.

Steve Clarke's side won 3-0 to go top of their Nations League group.

The 20-year-old wrote: "Thanks for all the messages last night.

"Really appreciate the support.

"The boys were great from start to finish."

After the game, the national team boss commented on the Ibrox academy graduate's injury.

He told Premier Sports: "It doesn't look too good when he goes off on a stretcher.

"He obviously felt something on his leg, we'll just wait and see what the medics say and how it pans out.

"Hopefully, it's not too serious and hopefully he's not out too long."
