Ryan Christie netted his 11th senior goal for Scotland in their 2-1 defeat to Slovenia in the UEFA Nations League at Hampden Park.
The Cherries midfielder was alert to flick the ball home from close range after his AFC Bournemouth teammate Ben Gannon Doak’s menacing run and cross into the box.
It was Christie’s fourth goal of the season for club and country, having netted a hat-trick in the Carabao Cup for the Cherries against Lincoln City last month.

Aljoša Matko levelled for Slovenia 11 minutes into the second half before Danijel Šturm found a winner with 19 minutes remaining.
Defeat left Scotland third in Group B1, three points behind second-placed Slovenia.
Reflecting after the game, Christie said: “Frustrating night. The first half wasn't particularly great but we were 1-0 up.
"They get the goal and then we struggled to find our feet. Plenty to reflect on and improve.
"Us as forwards didn't create enough tonight. The good thing is we're back in November.
"It's a new group and guys will get experience. Hopefully we can get on a positive train again."
