World Cup qualifiers: ‘Scotland cash in after almost 30 years of glorious failure as dreams come true’

There was a feeling that this night of all nights was written in the stars, given the strange way Scotland went in qualifying.

Lady Luck has been mentioned, but there was nothing lucky about McTominay jumping to the height of the Finnieston crane to score a hideous bicycle kick.

Scotland were unlucky to hit back not once, but twice when it looked like the national team would find a new way to break the hearts of five million against Denmark’s ten men.

One fan said before the match that he felt as though Scotland had capitalized on nearly 30 years of glorious failure. Another supporter said Clarke and his players sold their souls for this opportunity.

If that’s what it takes to witness an occasion like this, the Tartan Army might be happy to wait another three decades for the next one.

The idea of ​​Andy Robertson and John McGinn dragging Scotland’s bags of misfortune to the footballing gods in exchange for a World Cup appearance is quite the picture. After all, there’s a good chance this will be their last attempt to do so.

Two absolute giants of the Scottish team, Robertson and McGinn, both 31, were the life and life of the post-match celebrations.

The emotions that exploded from the two hit like Kieran Tierney’s stunning strike. Boy do they deserve this.

And that’s before you even try to understand Hokey Cokey’s emotional feelings in the stands. Nonsense to worry about. Anxiety for heartache. Heartache turns into chaos. Nonsense for heartache. Heartache turns into chaos. Nonsense for disbelief.
