VIVA Espana, Deutschland uber alles.
Norway, eight points behind the national team in Group A with three games remaining, needed to beat Spain at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo this evening to keep their hopes of finishing in the top two in their section and qualifying automatically alive.
Would it be the scene of another joyous 90 minutes for the boys in dark blue even though they were not involved? It certainly would. Scotland's participation in their second consecutive European Championship finals was confirmed when the final whistle blew. Luis de la Fuente made three changes to the starting line-up which had taken to the field three days earlier; Fabian Rui, Fabian Ruiz and Ansu Fati came in as Alejandro Balde, Mikel Merino and Mikel Oyarzabal dropped out.
In ordinary circumstances, Scotland fans would have revelled in the moment. Karma much? But these were far from ordinary circumstances. They were just as devastated as they had been when the McTominay effort had not been allowed to stand.
