Scotland Under-21 midfielder Kevin McDonald revealed boss Billy Stark is targeting a clean sweep of victories for the rest of the European Championships qualifying campaign as he bids to secure a place in the 2011 finals.

Substitute Jamie Murphy grabbed a dramatic injury-time winner against Belarus at St Mirren Park to take the Scots behind Austria on goal difference at the top of Group 10.

While Murphy was slamming in an angled shot two minutes into the four minutes of added time, Austria substitute Alexander Grunwald was also scoring at the death after Georg Margreitter had equalised with a 90th-minute penalty to give the visitors a 2-1 victory over Azerbaijan in Baku.

Before Scotland's win over Belarus, they beat Albania home and away before losing 1-0 in Austria and they now travel to Azerbaijan for their next game on November 14.

McDonald - who shrugged off missing a first-half sitter which may have made for a more comfortable afternoon - backed his manager's ambitions.

"As the manager says, if we win all our games then we win the group," the Burnley midfielder said.

"It's a simple as that and we are in a great position to do it.

"We have played four games, we have nine points and we have played away twice.

"We have to be happy with that.

"It is a tough group and so it was a great result against Belarus.

"The first two games against Albania were scrappy but we got six points and we have played unbelievably well in the last two games, especially over in Austria.

"I would say that Belarus were better than Austria.

"Everyone knows we played well in Austria, especially in the last 15 minutes, and we should have got a result."

Scotland were the better side in Paisley yesterday but, aside from McDonald heading wide of the target from around six yards, they mainly huffed and puffed without creating much.

Murphy, who had replaced David Gray after 67 minutes, then conjured up a moment of magic to show Stark he may have made a mistake in not handing him a start.

The Motherwell player was delighted to grab the late winner and was sufficiently buoyed to claim that Scotland should be travelling to Azerbaijan with some confidence.

"We have played all the teams apart from Azerbaijan and we don't feel fazed by anyone," he said.

"We have only lost one so far so why can't we go through?

"The top of the group is the aim but if second place is there, we will take it."
