Scott shines for Scotland
Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay continued his impressive goalscoring form at international level on Friday evening, as he claimed the opener for Scotland in their 3-0 win over Cyprus.
The United midfielder rose well at the back post to set the Tartan Army on their way to victory in Larnaca, notching his sixth goal in five qualifiers during UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying.
Ryan Porteus's scored Scotland's second shortly after with a well-taken finish, before our no.39 turned provider to set up Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn to make it 3-0, all during the first half.
From there, Steve Clarke's side pushed further to add to their advantage during the second period, with McTominay coming close to notching a second himself on two separate occasions.
