By Canadian Press on November 18, 2025.

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Scott McTominay scored a superb bicycle kick goal three minutes into Scotland’s match against Denmark in European qualifying for the 2026 World Cup on Tuesday.

Ben Gannon-Doak sent a high cross from the right side and McTominay went for the ball with his back to the goal. He hit a perfect scissor-kick strike from near the penalty spot.

Scottish tennis great Andy Murray wrote on X: “What on earth was that. McTominay you wee dancer!”

The winner of the match will secure the Group C automatic World Cup spot.
