"It's amazing," said Souttar after the 0-0 draw that ended Scotland's run of four consecutive defeats. "Obviously, we grew up together. Our parents are friends, and we played since we were tiny, at a boys club, at school - we went to school together. We have been through everything and now we are together in the national team. So, yeah, it's amazing."
The result does however mean Steve Clarke's side have won only one of their last 16 games - a friendly victory against Gibraltar. Portugal remain top of the group on 10 points with Croatia on seven, Poland on four.
The pair played frequently together in Scotland youth sides and were reunited in dark blue when Gauld came off the bench to join Souttar in Saturday's 2-1 Nations League defeat against Croatia in Zagreb.
