Since 1978, Archie Gemmill’s name has been a byword for a great Scotland goal.
His mazy run and finish in the 3-2 win over the Netherlands in Argentina has long been lauded as one of the best ever scored in dark blue.
Somewhat remarkably, Tuesday’s game featured three more contenders for that crown.
McTominay’s overhead kick and Tierney’s brilliantly-placed effort were already on the podium when McLean, despite the pleas of his manager to head for the corner, spotted Kasper Schmeichel off his line from inside his own half.
That last-minute goal was enough to make BBC Scotland commentator Alasdair Lamont lose his voice and sparked a celebration the national stadium had not seen for quite some time.
John Collins, who scored 12 times in 52 Scotland caps, said: “You’ll never watch another game and see three fantastic goals like that.
“If there was a World Cup given for spirit and determination we’d have it on the shelf just now.”
