As far as Euro 2024 qualification is concerned, Scott McTominay is in fine goalscoring form for his undefeated Scotland.
The Scots boosted their chances of qualification for next year’s tournament in Germany with a 2-0 win over Georgia.

Callum McGregor netted and McTominay added a second at Hampden Park, after play was previously stopped due to a water-logged pitch in the opening exchanges.
The victory meant Steve Clarke’s side are eight points clear of both Georgia and Norway, with four huge wins from four games.
Manchester United’s McTominay continued to prove his worth and took his goalscoring tally to five in the qualifiers, having banged in doubles in the wins against Cyprus and Spain.
Only Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku and Rasmus Hojlund of Denmark have more goals than him with six each.
McTominay is level with Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted for Portugal in his side’s 1-0 victory over Iceland on his 200th appearance for his nation.
The 26-year-old is also one better than France skipper Kylian Mbappe, who scored in Les Bleus’ 1-0 victory over Greece at the Stade de France.
McTominay continues to been linked with an Old Trafford departure in the summer, having failed to nail down a regular starting spot under Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils won’t stand in the way of the player moving on, despite him tied down at the Theatre of Dreams until 2025.

The news outlet has stated that United are seeking a £50m fee for their academy graduate.
It has been said that Magpies boss Eddie Howe is a huge admirer of the midfielder, and has identified him as an ideal addition to his squad at the end of the campaign, with West Ham also keen.
Speaking on The Sports Bar last month, Jermaine Pennant believes it is time for McTominay to leave Man United, saying: “I would say go for a Newcastle, maybe West Ham.
“If Declan Rice leaves in the summer, I think that will be a great purchase, a great addition for West Ham.
“They’re similar kind of players.”
Pennant added: “If I was McTominay, I think West Ham is a good shout, it would be a good place to go.”
