Scotland 3 Cyprus 0 as John McGinn breaks records and Angus Gunn debuts in Hampden victory

Scotland have three points and three goals to their name in the opening game of their EURO 2024 qualifying campaign.

Scotland began the game with some intensity and John McGinn seemed to be leading the charge for the opening goal. The Aston Villa man was in the right spot to volley home Andy Robertson's deflected cross in a super move down the left had side on 20 minutes. The home side carried a threat especially down the flanks throughout the first period.

In the second half, Clarke's men couldn't quite find an opening with a flurry of blocked efforts with twenty to play causing the most concern for Cyprus. Substitute Scott McTominay ended the long wait for a second goal, latching on to a Lyndon Dykes header to smash home. The Manchester United star was at it again to bag a brace with a cool finish in added time.
