Mikoliunas (left) celebrates after winning his side a penalty kick

Quizzed about the incident which led to an equalising goal, the Hearts midfielder said: "No comment. You have the victory what more do you want?"

When asked if he was worried he would be criticised in Scotland for cheating, he replied: " I don't care. I play for Hearts not other clubs.

"If Hearts fans want me to apologise I will, but not to Scotland fans."

Tomas Danilevicius tucked the controversial penalty away to cancel out Kris Boyd's first half opener.

But Stephen McManus and James McFadden popped up with late goals to seal a laboured win for the Scots.

"We were maybe second best for a large part of the second half," substitute Shaun Maloney told BBC Sport.

"But we managed to scrape through in the end."

Scotland manager Alex McLeish and skipper Darren Fletcher, the player who challenged Mikoliunas, were critical of the Hearts player.

"It wasn't even the penalty, it was every time he got it he seemed to be going down easily, and it's a bit embarrassing really," Fletcher told BBC Sport.
