Former Scotland internationalAn unbelievable achievement from Steve Clarke and his side, no doubt there will be a mini celebration tonight.
Two games remaining in this group and the target for Scotland will be maximum points. But regardless, they’ll be in Germany next year.

One of my colleagues sitting opposite me has just been informed by his wife that there are fireworks popping off in Motherwell.
Tbf, that's just a normal Sunday in ML1.

Michael Stewart
Former Scotland midfielder on ViaplayUnbelievable. To qualify automatically with two games to spare is some achievement.
We're sitting level with Spain, only behind them on goal difference. That speaks volumes.
It's all down to the huge effort and the quality that has been shown by this Scotland side.
We qualify not because of the result this evening, but because of the work and the effort of the coaching staff and the manager for the last few months.Thoroughly deserved.
We look forward to the Euros and look to the next challenge - getting out of the groups. They are absolutely capable of that.

The hero of the first meeting between these two, Joselu is on for Spain.
Alvaro Morata is the man to scoot off in his place.

BBC Scotland in LilleThe atmosphere in here is absolutely brilliant.
Friendly banter between the rugby fans and the Scotland football fans. Lots of signing and cheering…in English and French.

Oh Erling Haaland, that's a big chance.
There's no pace in his effort and it's virtually a pass back.
In a City shirt, does he score that?

Former Scotland international on BBC ScotlandAs a Scotland fan, I’m surprisingly calm. The Spain goal took the wind out the sails of the Norwegians, a real lack of urgency and belief now. They almost look resigned to defeat.
