Two-goal hero Scott McTominay said Scotland took their opportunity to create a legacy by beating Spain 2-0 in European Championship qualifying at Hampden Park on Tuesday.
McTominay’s brace led Scotland to their first win against Spain since 1984 and continued their perfect start to the Euro 2024 qualification campaign with six points from two matches.

“Look at this place – I’ve never seen anything like it, incredible,” McTominay, who also scored twice in the 3-0 win against Cyprus last week, said.
“The manager said this is our chance to create legacies as Scotland players and these are the nights in 20, 30 years that people remember. We can’t thank the fans enough.”
He added: “We did really, really well. We knew they’d have lots of the ball, and the manager said to be clinical when we had the opportunities, and I thought we had enough opportunities tonight to really hurt them and score some goals.
“As a kid, I was an attacking midfielder — I like to get in the box. I’ve got to keep doing that, I know I can add more goals and assists to my game.”
