Scotland merited their Euro 2024 qualification win at Hampden, but playing in Spain will be a different thing entirely, writes Liam McLeod.
"Tonight was our night. I'm looking forward to the rematch," Scotland head coach Steve Clarke told the assembled media in Hampden Park's auditorium, deep inside the stadium's south stand.
Manchester City's midfield colossus Rodri bit hardest in his post-match interview when emotions were still running high.It's a comment that has been viewed dimly by Clarke, his coaching staff and the players as they attempt to repeat the trick in Seville on Thursday.Spain had 75% of the ball on that March night, yet the Scotland supporters were remarkably calm outside of the wild celebrations that greeted McTominay's two haymakers.
The 62-year-old's plan was to dust himself down and win the Nations League less than three months later. And if you think that's impressive, the fact they've only ever lost five qualifiers in 125 games in their own country is almost mind-blowing and a stark reminder of the task Scotland face to get the point they need to spark wild celebrations.
Navas is a relic from the golden-era, having played in the 2010 World Cup final victory in Johannesburg, and, at 37, the Sevilla player returned to the national fold for the Nations League finals.
