Scotland rise in FIFA World rankings as historic Spain triumph sees Steve Clarke's side shoot up table

Scotland have risen in the FIFA World rankings after a sensational start to the EURO 2024 campaign.

Steve Clarke's men capped off a comfortable 3-0 win against Cyprus which saw John McGinn and Scott McTominay on target with a historic 2-0 victory over Spain at Hampden Park. It was to be a night to remember at the national stadium as the Manchester United star proved crucial in securing six points from six in the campaign hoping to reach Germany.

It was Clarke's squad who broke Scotland's major tournament hoodoo after that famous night in Serbia sealed a place at the EURO 2020 finals. The Tartan Army drew with the Auld Enemy in England, who they will face again later this year, but were beaten by Croatia and the Czech Republic.
