Scotland are currently in the frame to go into Euro 2024 as the top seeds.
Steve Clarke's side last night earned a fifth win from five games in their qualification campaign for next summer's European Championships in Germany.
A 3-0 win over Cyprus saw Scotland strengthen their position at the top of Group A. Scott McTominay, Ryan Porteous and Scott McTominay scored the goals in Larnaca.
The Scots have won every game of the group so far, including at home to Spain and away at Norway. They have scored 12 goals in that time, conceding just once.
And that record has them at the top of the pile all across Europe - which could see Scotland land a favourable draw at the Euros.
Scotland currently sits top of the table of prospective Euro 2024 seeds.
No team, other than hosts Germany of course, has sealed their place at the tournament yet, but several, including Scotland, are on the cusp of clinching their spots.
France have an almost identical record to Clarke's side, although Scotland has scored one more goal.
England could overtake Scotland tonight and jump into first place by beating Ukraine, as their goal difference is slightly superior.
Portugal are also right up there with four wins from their four qualifying games so far, scoring 11 goals and conceding none.
The top five teams in terms of their qualification results go into Pot A for the draw, alongside hosts Germany.
As stated, Scotland has not qualified yet, but it's a matter of when and not if.
Spain could still top the group as they have played two fewer games than Scotland, and they host the Scots next month.
Scotland's passage to Germany could be secured during the friendly match against England on Tuesday, should Norway versus Georgia finish in a stalemate.
Failing that, matters will roll onto next month when Scotland visit Spain in Seville.
Clarke said: "Every result that we’ve had in the group has been important. It’s been a process towards qualification, that’s what we’ve spoken about inside the dressing room. That’s all we’ve focussed on – trying to make the right steps at the right time. It’s another step. We still need a little bit more.
“At the moment the table looks pretty nice. It was a big win for Spain, we got there next. We have to be ready for a really tough game.
“I can’t think too far ahead because you’re asking me to predict results and what might happen in the future, I don’t know. At this moment in time, I know that five wins is a pretty healthy position. I’ll celebrate when we’re there.
