Arsenal's Kieran Tierney helped Scotland to secure qualification for Euro 2020 on Thursday evening as he played the entire 120 minutes against Serbia.
The Tartan Army prevailed in dramatic fashion in their crucial play-off final, overcoming Serbia on penalties after playing out a 1-1 draw.
Ryan Christie opened the scoring for the visitors shortly after half-time before Real Madrid's Luka Jovic netted a last-gasp equaliser, with extra time unable to produce a winner.
David Marshall's save to deny Alexander Mitrovic at the end of the shootout booked Scotland's place at a major tournament for the first time in 23 years.
Tierney, who put in a solid performance in central defence for Scotland, tweeted after the match: "So many highs and lows in football. Thank you so much to everyone who always sticks with me. My heroes love you all."
Supporters of both Scotland and Arsenal also took to Twitter to congratulate the 23-year-old and praise his impact at the heart of the national team's defence.
