NOBODY in Scotland needs to be told about the goalscoring prowess of Scott McTominay.
The midfielder has netted on no fewer than six occasions during the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, helped his national team move to the cusp of qualification for the finals in Germany next summer and become a hero to the Tartan Army in the process.
McTominay came off the bench with three minutes remaining on Saturday with United trailing Brentford 1-0 in a Premier League game at home. He struck twice in injury-time to secure a much-needed win that lifted his side to eighth in the table and eased the pressure that was mounting on his manager Erik ten Hag.
“He has shown a bit of patience. He could have gone in the summer. But he didn’t go, he wanted to stay at Man Utd and that shows you his character. He has shown he’s good enough to get in the team and this is an opportunity for him. He fully expects the 43-times capped internationalist, who has scored doubles against Cyprus and Spain at home and been on target against Georgia at home and Cyprus away in the past seven months, to once again be a key figure in La Cartuja.
Carver and Scotland manager Steve Clarke, who has not called up a replacement for Ryan Jack after the Rangers midfielder pulled out of the squad, will certainly be watching Lewis Ferguson intently during training at Lesser Hampden this week.
