It has been two weeks now and it has finally sunk in that we went to Paris and achieved a famous victory. This is a really big deal, just over a year ago Scotland were ranked 62nd in the world (France and Italy have been in the top five for a long time).
As a result of this win Scotland have risen two places to 14th in the world rankings - highest ever achieved. Apart from the glorious goal in the video clip there a few other things worth noticing: the number of Tartan Army members in the stadium (hey, it was supposed to be an away game); the sheer joy on the faces of the Scottish players at full time; the expressions on the French ones.
Well it could still go wrong, we have to play Ukraine, Georgia and Italy before final qualifying is decided - but for the moment we can live the dream.

wow - that was a gorgeous shot! Congratulations. Even if the odds aren't great, I hope they go all the way, and this victory WAS a tasty one!
Sure was - and while trying to find this clip I came across some with Scottish commentators on them and the delight/hysteria they expressed was amazing.
