Scotland’s 2-0 win is their first over Spain since 1984
Rodri: ‘The way Scotland play is rubbish, wasting time’

Steve Clarke revealed he used the memory of an iconic Kenny Dalglish goal against Spain in 1984 to inspire his Scotland players towards a 2-0 victory over the same opposition at Hampden Park.

Dalglish notched the third goal of a 3-1 win which was the last success for the Scots against Spain until Scott McTominay, with two goals, sunk Luis de la Fuente’s men. Scotland’s head coach later explained how he drew upon history.
