It was teed up as a night for the ages - with Steve Clarke’s Scotland certainly delivering to get the whole nation and more talking.
Denmark were downed 4-2 at a raucous Hampden Park as outrageous goals from Scott McTominay, Kieran Tierney and Kenny McClean, plus an all-important tap-in by Hearts’ Lawrence Shankland, sent the nation to cloud nine and the World Cup.
Flights are already being sought for the major tournament in America, Canada and Mexico, which will be Scotland’s first appearance on football’s biggest stage since 1998. It’s a crowning moment for head coach Clarke and his squad, with heroics contributions from the likes of Shankland, Hearts teammate Craig Gordon and Hibs’ Grant Hanley. Celebrities near and far have been crowning the achievement online and here’s the best of their reactions.
