Scottish FA write to UEFA's head of refereeing for clarification after Scott McTominay's wonder goal was ruled out in 2-0 defeat to Spain

The SFA have written to UEFA head of refereeing Roberto Rosetti seeking clarification on the confusion and contradictions surrounding Scott McTominay’s disallowed goal against Spain.

With Scotland chasing a single point to reach the Euro 2024 finals, McTominay’s stunning 59th-minute free-kick in Seville promised to go down as the strike which fired Steve Clarke’s side to Germany.

However, Dutch referee Serdar Gozubuyuk, who was referred to the pitchside monitor by VAR colleagues, initially gave a hand signal indicating that the goal had been disallowed for a foul on goalkeeper Unai Simon and that information was forwarded to broadcasters.
