The Aston Villa superstar netted his 17th international goal in his 57th appearance for Scotland as Steve Clarke's team eased to an impressive win over Cyprus that put them within touching distance of qualifying. And the Tartan Army favourite can now claim to be the top scorer at the Euros for Scotland after netting his ninth goal in the competition.
McCoist's eight goals at the Euros came against Belgium, Romania, Bulgaria, Switzerland, San Marino twice and Greece. He also scored a wonder goal against the Swiss at Euro 96 in Birmingham. McGinn and McCoist are ahead of Steven Fletcher, Kenny Miller and Sir Kenny Dalglish, who all netted seven goals in Euros qualifiers.
“I was probably made aware of the total a few months ago, but it wasn’t on my mind out there These things are in the back of my mind. As long as we qualify for tournaments, then there’s more games and more opportunities to score.
