THE BIGGER PICTURE: McTominay is expected to be in contention to start for Manchester United when he returns from international duty, with injuries in Erik ten Hag's midfield opening up a place for him. But who knows, maybe he'll get a trial as a No.9. It wouldn't be Ten Hag's first unconventional move for his attack!

WHAT'S NEXT FOR SCOTLAND? The nation is enjoying a brilliant start to Euro 2024 qualification and the team will look to keep up the momentum when they face Norway on June 17.
