Scotland are one game away from qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 1998.

It's been a long and painful 28 years for the Tartan Army, but a victory over Denmark on Tuesday night will guarantee their place at the tournament in North America next summer - defeat means they'll have to go through the play-offs.

Less than five minutes into the match at Hampden Park, Scott McTominay produced one of the biggest moments of his career to give Scotland the dream start.

A cross into the box from Ben Gannon-Doak found the Napoli star, who met it with an outrageous overhead kick to find the back of the net.
