Sidefooting the ball towards goal, there was every chance of Kepa Arrizabalaga saving it until the ball took a wicked ricochet off the inside leg of central defender Inigo Martinez.

Pressed and harried by Andrew Robertson, the captain nicked the ball and raised his head.Ĭutting the ball back for McTominay, the Manchester United man is acquiring quite the taste for international goals. After a day of rain in Glasgow - nothing new there - the slick Hampden surface prompted an untimely slip from Spain’s number two on the edge of his own penalty area. For Tottenham full-back Pedro Porro it was the stuff of nightmares. Scotland’s cause was helped by the start of their dreams.

Jock Stein’s side went on to secure automatic qualification for Mexico ’86 and the national team have now built the best possible foundations for a run at Germany next summer - Georgia’s draw with Norway in Tbilisi making this a good night all round. The last time the Scots beat Spain the manager was in the old enclosure watching with his dad. Substitute Lawrence Shankland almost killed things off in added time once more and, in truth, another 3-0 wouldn’t have flattered Clarke’s side in the slightest. John McGinn curled a Brazilian style free-kick against the crossbar as the home nation pressed for a third.

Nothing is likely to overshadow Scott McTominay rolling back the years by scoring the two goals which put the former European and World champions to the sword. When Mo Johnston scored twice in a 3-1 win in November 1984 the feat was overshadowed by a stunning strike from Kenny Dalglish. It was a game that saw Scotland play like Spain and Spain play like the Scotland of old at Hampden Park
