Scotland fans rocked the ground with their win over Denmark

The Tartan Army rocked the ground as they celebrated Scotland’s men qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 28 years.

The British Geological Survey (BGS) recorded the equivalent of a “very small earthquake” after Kenny McLean lobbed the ball past Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to secure a 4-2 win.

A second large amount of seismic activity came moments later when the final whistle blew on Wednesday evening.

The readings were recorded at the BGS station at the Glasgow Geothermal Observatory in Dalmarnock, about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from Hampden Park.

A small surge was also detected by the time Kieran Tierney scored Scotland’s third goal, three minutes into stoppage time.

However, the BGS said the main peak of activity came between 21:48 and 21:50 – just as McLean recorded from the halfway line.

An official attendance of 49,587 fans was recorded at the match.

The activity registered between -1 and zero on the Richter scale and produced the equivalent of 200 kilowatts of energy, which is enough to operate between 25 and 40 car batteries.

It is also similar to blowing up a soccer ball at a speed of about 900 m/s (2,013 mph), BGS said.

That’s about 15 times faster than the fastest ball ever hit, which is believed to be around 131.2 mph (58 m/s) by Brazilian defender Ronnie Hibberson in Sporting Clube de Portugal’s win over Naval in 2007.

Taylor Swift fans were also recorded as moving on the floor during the trio’s concerts last summer at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.

But the BGS said it was unable to directly compare the two events due to “different site conditions”.

The BGS said around 300 naturally occurring earthquakes occur in the UK each year, but only around 30 of them have a significant magnitude that people can feel.

Last month, a 3.3 magnitude earthquake was felt in homes across Perthshire.
