STEVEN GERRARD has expressed his pride at seeing Ryan Jack help Scotland end their two-decade wait for a return to a major finals last week.
The Rangers midfielder was an integral part of Steve Clarke's squad during the international break and a dramatic victory over Serbia ensured Scotland will feature at Euro 2020 next summer.
Jack has been in fine form once again this term at Ibrox and boss Gerrard said: "It was no surprise to see him play so well. Ryan has been very consistent since we came in here at Rangers.
"The way he applies himself, the way he goes about his daily work, it is no surprise to see him in top form and producing the goods at international level.
"I am really pleased for him, I was proud of his performance and I think it was great to see, being up here and really involved in Scottish football now, to see the country back in a major tournament.
"It was fantastic to watch the celebrations. I want to congratulate Steve, his staff and all the players involved. It was a magnificent achievement."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
