Captain Wayne Rooney downplayed his remarkable run of form for his country after scoring twice in England's 3-1 over Scotland and Celtic Park.
Rooney has now scored five times in his last four England games and has 46 goals for his country, three shy of Sir Bobby Charlton's record.
But after the match Rooney was typically quiet about getting ever closer to the great man's total.
"I'm just enjoying my football at the minute. I'm enjoying playing for England and I've had a good run of scoring goals," said the Manchester United forward. "I hope it continues and if that means breaking the record I'll be absolutely delighted."
Rooney took great pride in Tuesday's victory but insisted the occasion took second place to any European qualifier. For those inside the stadium it must have felt like the hottest ticket in town, but Rooney offered a businesslike assessment.
"I think it's the least important [win since the World Cup], this and Norway," he said. "The qualifiers are the important games. This is a massive game, England and Scotland, but the aim is to qualify for Euro 2016.
"But to win is fantastic, against a Scotland side in good form. It's fantastic to play in these games, we knew it was going to be a big atmosphere.
"We expected to win the game. We're the better team and we've shown that tonight."
Jack Wilshere, who shone in his deep midfield role and produced an assist of genuine class for Arsenal teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, was content with the way England responded to the intense atmosphere.
"We loved every minute of it," he said. "We knew going in it would be a great occasion but fair play to us we rose to it. We're just delighted we got the win."
Oxlade-Chamberlain hailed England's growing "winning mentality." The Three Lions have now won six in a row since their World Cup woes and Oxlade-Chamberlain senses a growing belief.
"After the World Cup we learned that without wins and results the team gets nowhere," he said. "The main thing is getting results in the group and if it's a friendly it's important to us as well.
"We need that winning mentality and games like this are massive for everyone. As a team it's a massive win too."
Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher believes his side may have allowed the sense of occasion to overcome them. But like his United teammate Rooney, he was quick to refocus on the qualification matches, and in particular the valuable weekend win against Republic of Ireland.
"I don't think we did ourselves justice tonight. We could have been a lot more patient and passed the ball a lot better," he said. "I think the occasion, it's a derby match, maybe got the better of us tonight off the back of a good results against Ireland.
"We lost goals at bad times -- the start of the second half, just after getting back to 2-1, but maybe that shows character from England too.
"We've got to learn we've got a way of playing and that's patient football, intricate passing, getting people in the hole... we've got to get back to that. But the same as Wayne says, three points against Ireland was always going to be the most important from these two games."
