SCOTT MCTOMINAY was the Scotland SUPERHERO among a group of heroes that saw off Spain at Hampden last night.
But the Manchester United star's brace meant even more to one Betfair punter who backed him to carry on his tremendous – yet unlikely – goal scoring form.

The midfielder might not be in Erik ten Hag's immediate plans at club level amid links with a move away this summer.
But the 26-year-old is a key member of Steve Clarke's squad.
Having said that, McSauce started on the bench for the weekend's 3-0 win against the Cypriots, replacing Stuart Armstrong for the final quarter of the game.
With one goal to his name at international level – and a huge vital one at that against Israel – he doubled that tally in the 87th minute and notched again in injury time.
It was the most unlikely of goalscoring outcomes but one the Tartan Army would gladly take.
So it probably looked even more unlikely that he'd follow that up just a few days later against the nation ranked 10th in the world.

And Betfair certainly thought so too, offering odds of 300/1 for him to bag another brace at Hampden.
One punter saw fit to stick £20 on that happening though and an early McTominay goal would have set pulses racing.
New Spurs signing Pedro Porro's slip allowed Andy Robertson to pick out McTominay on seven minutes before he rolled the ball beyond Chelsea stopper Kepa for a vital early goal.
The punter was made to wait – but in all truth not that long – for the second goal, with McTominay the beneficiary of some incredible work from Arsenal star Kieran Tierney, before again picking his spot with a left foot finish six minutes after half time.
The punter scooped £6,020, with four other bettors backing the unlikely outcome with £1, £1, £2 and £13.33 stakes.
