Scotland have qualified for the 2026 World Cup in North America, ending a 28-year absence from the competition.
The Tartan Army defeated Denmark 4-2 at Hampden Park in a winner-takes-all game.
Scott McTominay put the Scots ahead after just three minutes of play, scoring a Puskas-worthy overhead kick.
However, the lead lasted around 45 minutes before Rasmus Hojlund converted a controversial penalty awarded by VAR.

After Rasumus Kristensen's controversial red card, Scotland grabbed the lead again by an inswinging corner from Lewis Ferguson, whipped into the six-yard box, before Lawrence Shankland got ahead of Kasper Schmeichel to get the slightest of touches.
Scotland then failed to clear a Gustav Isaksen’s cross, which eventually fell to Patrick Dorgu, who calmly scored with a left-foot finish from 10 yards.
Kieran Tierney scored the winner when he wrapped his left foot around the ball from the right of the box and bent it into the left of the goal, past Schmeichel.
But in the denying embers, Schmeichel was caught high up the field sweeping.

With potentially his most important career goal, the former Manchester United star raised the roof in Glasgow.
Ben Gannon-Doak curled in a cross, which was met by McTominay, who hung in the air for a perfectly executed bicycle kick.
The ball flew into the bottom left corner, putting the Scots ahead.
Celebrating in style, the Scots cult hero ran over to celebrate in front of supporters.
The noise after it went in was even better than the finish.
VAR controversial as ever

Denmark's pressure eventually led to a penalty, with a VAR check described by the commentators as "absolutely torture" for Scottish fans.
The Video Assistant Referee ruled that Andy Robertson committed a foul and advised referee Szymon Marciniak to go to the monitor.
But was it inside the box?
Marciniak seemed to think so despite the Scottish justified complaints.
Rasmus Hojlund wasted no time, smashing the ball into the top-right corner; the goalkeeper stood no chance.
Referee stealing the show
Rasmus Kristensen was sent off in the 61st minute

Rasmus Kristensen was sent off in the 61st minute for a second yellow for another foul on McGinn.
It does not take a football expert to determine that the referee made a terrible decision.
Kristensen leaned into McGinn, leading to the Scotsman taking a dramatic tumble.
With no VAR checks for yellow cards, Kristensen was sent to the bench, forcing Denmark to bring on two subs.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Denmark still dominated.

When we all believed it was over, Tierney scored a spectacular winner.
The Celtic star wrapped his left foot around the ball from the right of the box, bending it into the left of the goal, past Schmeichel.
It came from a scrappy cross and a poor clearance, but take nothing away from that finish.
It was the goal that would take them across the Atlantic.

Kenny McLean sealed the deal with his remarkable chip.
With Denmark pushing for an equaliser, the away side were caught out.
Cries of shoot echoed around Hampden Park, encouraging the 33-year-old veteran to go for glory.
Right on the halfway line, the Scotsman took aim and unleashed a ball, which felt like it hung in the skies of Scotland for an age before rippling the back of the net.
Scottish fans turned up
Scotland entered the game as the underdogs.
But this mentality only helped to fuel Scottish fans, who were deafening before kickoff.
They continued to roar throughout the game, despite their team's below-par performance.
The early goal certainly helped, and the second seemed to reignite the fire.
Fans will certainly be disappointed with the result, especially given they were in front twice, but what a game to watch.
Scotland will no doubt be delighted with the qualification

Scotland were second best but it doesn't matter
The Scotland team were overall second best to the Danes, but they will care after the smash-and-grab approach paid off and cemented their names in history.
Shortly after the goal, Scotland suffered an early injury blow when the goal-assister, Ben Gannon-Doak, went down injured, forcing him to be stretchered off.
Denmark were on the front foot with Rasmus Hojlund celebrating the ball in the back of the net before his celebrations were cut short as the referee ruled it out for a push.
The pressure continued relentlessly throughout the first half and into the second, with Scotland lucky to get through parts of the game without going behind.
Heading to North America...
Scotland will no doubt be delighted with the qualifications, as fans now look across the Atlantic, hoping to secure precious tickets.
Many young Scots will never have seen their nation compete in a World Cup.
Scotland will need to perform a lot better than their current form if they have any hope of advancing through the group stages.
But their landmark victory tonight and qualification campaign will live long in the memory of all Scots.
