Pat Nevin insists the memorable victory over Spain will go down as one of Scotland’s greatest ever results.
Steve Clarke’s side put themselves in pole position in Euro 2024 qualifying group A with a 2-0 victory at a packed Hampden on Tuesday evening.
Scott McTominay’s brace either side of half-time ensured Scotland made it two wins from two in their section and former international winger Nevin insists the result will go down in Scottish football folklore.
Nevin said: “Absolutely fantastic, the quality was there as well, the tactical stuff was perfect.
“This is one of the magical nights in Scottish history, looking back to Paris when James McFadden scored a wonderful goal (against France).
“These are the nights you really remember.
“Six points at the start of the campaign, let’s not get carried away but boy we have a chance.”
Meanwhile, Steve Clarke believes Scotland put their mark on their Euro 2024 qualifying group with their stunning 2-0 win.
The momentous result was helped further by the 1-1 draw between Norway and Georgia – June’s opponents – earlier in the day.
The Scotland boss said: “You don’t qualify with six points. There’s a long way to go.
“We’re really pleased with the performance – two good performances over the nine days we’ve been together.
“It was important to capitalise on the two home games as much as we could and we’ve managed to get maximum points.
“All the credit goes to the players. We had 16 players on the pitch and none of them let us down. The seven players in the stand were every bit as happy as everyone else was.
“We have a good group but we’re working hard to get better and better and tonight was a chance to put our mark on the group.
“We wanted to be competitive against a top team and that’s what we did. It certainly should give the players a bit more belief when we come up against these top seeds.
“That’s the last two top seeds – Denmark (in World Cup qualifiers) and Spain – who have come to Hampden and left with no points.
“But it’s very important we stay grounded because there’s still a long way to go in the group.”
