Euro 2024 qualifying: Scotland secure famous win over Spain as Croatia ease past Turkey

Scotland manager Steve Clarke has urged his players to stay focused on their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign after securing a famous 2-0 win over Spain at Hampden Park on Tuesday.

Scotland won their opening match in Group A 3-0 against Cyprus on Saturday but usurped that result with a stunning performance against three-time European champions Spain as Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay scored both goals.

Ryan Christie went close to a second before Joselu, who scored twice on his debut against Norway at the weekend, hit the crossbar for Spain.

Lyndon Dykes missed a golden chance to double the Scots' advantage in first-half added time, but dinked the ball over the bar after racing through on goal.

McTominay made no such mistake six minutes after the restart, though, drilling home a fine left-footed volley after excellent work from Kieran Tierney.
