Ryan Gauld made his first team debut for Sporting Lisbon in Monday night's 2-0 win at Guimaraes.

The 19-year-old Scot played the entire 90 minutes of the Portuguese League Cup match, which was won thanks to goals from Heldon and Ousmane Drame.

Gauld moved to Sporting in a 拢3m summer switch from Dundee United.

He was included in the club's Champions League squad but had only played in the Sporting B team until Monday night's match.

Gauld, who signed a six-year deal with Sporting, has a 60m euro release clause in his contract.

The teenager has been a fixture for Scotland's youth teams and was called up to Gordon Strachan's national side for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Georgia and Poland, although he did not feature.
