Well, at least now we know what Steve Clarke carries around in his little coach's satchel.
Five loaves and a couple of fish. Just in case. Because, as if Scotland's manager has not performed enough miracles already, last night he sent out a team which recorded a fourth successive qualification win for the first time in the country's history.
If that wasn't enough, his players were seen walking on water in the process, emerging from a monsoon to wash Georgia away in a match which began at quarter to eight but did not end until going on midnight due to a series of delays caused by the deluge. When Georgia wonder boy Khvicha Kvaratskhelia missed a penalty in injury-time it had just gone 11.20pm. Rain had stopped play after only six minutes by which time Callum McGregor had already fired Clarke's men in front. And Scott McTominay got the second half off to a flyer too with a second goal to prove that not even the elements can get in the way of where Clarke is taking this team of ours. Which is Germany, by the way. In case you haven't noticed.
Together, they are becoming something of a phenomenon. Impossible to ignore but also a joy to watch, even when they're playing in their wellies. Clarke made only one change to Saturday's starting line-up and yet even that seemed exciting. The sight of Billy Gilmour back at the heart of midfield in a dark blue shirt was just another reason to feel good about what is going on in the manager's camp.
Perhaps not if your name is Ryan Christie, right enough. The Bournemouth man was sacrificed and had to settle for a soggy seat on the bench. The heavens above Hampden had opened quite spectacularly around half an hour before kick-off and it came down so hard it even knocked out the stadium's satellite connection.
Honestly, it was biblical stuff but, then again, our national bowl was built for nights such as this, the more inclement the better when those lights are switched on. Just not like this though. It's never been quite like this.
Running repairs were required to the playing surface before kick-off and a job lot of industrial-sized squeegees were unlocked from the janitor's cupboard. But none of it made a damn bit of difference. As soon as the players attempted to move the ball around it became obvious that this match was in danger. Typically, Scotland's players coped with the farcical conditions, splashing around up to their ankles and yet still managing to keep the ball under some kind of control.
Ryan Porteous was sent into an aquaplane, completely submerged down near the touchline, and the dangerous Otar Kiteishvilli fired a shot from distance which looked as if it might trouble Angus Gunn until it got stuck in a puddle at the keeper's right-hand post.
Despite these freakish conditions, it has to be said Scotland had started rather well. And after six minutes they had waded into the Georgian box to take an astonishing early lead as Lyndon Dykes glanced a John McGinn corner down for McGregor to lash home from 16 yards.
Keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili got a glove to it but couldn't prevent it from smashing into the side of his net and, in the most surreal of circumstances, Scotland's players were having a huddle in a puddle. It was all too much for Georgia's French boss Willy Sagnol who called for the game to be stopped.
His players also appeared to refuse to restart leaving referee Istvan Vad with little option but to usher both sides back up the tunnel.
Back out came the men with their big squeegees. And, for the next hour, Hampden held its collective breath between pitch inspections and more frantic sweeping. Then, just when it was announced that the officials had decided to try again, with kick-off scheduled for five minutes to nine, the heavens opened up again and dumped another heavy load on Glasgow's south side. Yet another raft of delays followed.
At 9.24pm, the Georgians finally - reluctantly - squelched their way back on to the pitch. They couldn't have been made to feel any more unwelcome had they changed into England kits in the tunnel. The game restarted at 9.33, one hour and 17 minutes after McGregor's opener. It wasn't squeegees that were required now. It was sleeping bags.
But skipper Andy Robertson got the energy levels spiking again with a trademark burst down the left and a low cross which the Georgians just about managed to splash clear out of their six-yard box. Dykes threatened soon after with a back-post header after powering on to a Kieran Tierney cross but, again, the visitors survived.
The big Aussie flung himself at a Robertson delivery later in the half and landed with such a splash he needed to come back up for air. McGinn headed another chance wide and Mamardashvili clawed out a net-bound effort from the outstanding McTominay before half-time as Scotland, almost entirely untroubled at the back, went in search of a killer second at the other end.
And it arrived just seconds after the interval when Tierney's long probe sent Robertson galloping off down the left flank. The ball broke kindly to McTominay who took one touch to kill it with his right foot before lashing it home from 20 yards with his left.
On a night dripping with drama and saturated by uncertainty, at last all remaining doubt had been removed. Scotland were home and dry - and one huge step closer to next summer's finals.
