Never has a Scottish side, international or club, won here in Seville. But none of them had Scott McTominay, the man who has outscored Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo in Euro 2024 qualification.
Steve Clarke is without defender Kieran Tierney for the match against Spain in which a draw would confirm their place at next summer’s finals in Germany, and once over that would mean McTominay slipping into his back three.
Not now, not when he is Europe’s most potent international midfielder with six goals from five matches.
