<text>  Gordon Strachan insisted his Scotland players will deal with their tag as huge favourites to over-run Euro minnows Gibraltar. Christophe Berras 85th minute header edged an uninspiring warm-up against Michael ONeills makeshift Northern Ireland at Hampden. The Scots have suffered repeated embarrassment on the big occasions against unfancied nations like Costa Rica and Peru through the years. Scotland manager Gordon Strachan is confident his side can handle being favourites vs Gibraltar on Sunday . Against a Gibraltar side which has shipped 21 goals in four games in their first ever UEFA qualifying campaign, however, Strachan expects last nights 1-0 win to prove valuable. I got what I expected from the players, said the Scotland boss. Some played better than others, that happens. I have a system in mind for Sunday. Well have a look at it now. It does bring a pressure when people expect us to win easily - but we go into it feeling good about ourselves. Every game you play, you go into it thinking the other team is going to score, no matter who they are. It is a different challenge from Germany - but its still a challenge. The Scots threatened to blow Michael ONeills inexperienced, makeshift side away in the opening half hour, with Ikechi Anya a threat. Christophe Berra front headed in Scotlands only goal in Wednesdays 1-0 friendly win over Northern Ireland . Berra centre wheels away in celebration after netting the decisive goal of the match at Hampden Park . Content just to win the game after debutant Matt Ritchie marked the occasion with a corner assist for Berras third Scotland goal Strachan added: Matt got better as the game went on, got more of the ball and was more comfortable, Hes tidy in everything he does. Thats a big thing in international football, not to give ball away. He can be pleased with his debut - it was far better than mine... . The first half hour was good for a friendly. We had a good attitude. I was pleased with the number of chances we made and the way we made them. Then it kind of lulled in last 15 minutes of the first half into a friendly atmosphere. We kicked on for the first 10 minutes of the second half, then it died again, then we came good in the last 15. Im delighted with the number of chances we made and the number that Northern Ireland didnt make. Strachan was full of praise for Matt Ritchie on his Scotland debut - after his assist for Berras winning goal . They made it hard for us. Its different in this game if you can score early, but we kept plugging away and trying to do the right things. There are one or two things Id like us to do better but I was delighted to win the game and get a clean sheet. With Celtics Scott Brown a second half substitute, Strachan handed the captain s armband to Darren Fletcher, the West Brom midfielder marking the night with a man of the match award. I was really pleased for Darren Fletcher. It was a big decision for him to move but its been a good decision for him and for West Brom. Ive got decisions to make for Sunday now, good ones. Scotland captain for the night Darren Fletcher left was handed the man of the match award at full-time .
