The journey to crown Scotland’s Most Iconic Goal has reached the quarter-finals.

It’s a knockout format leading up to the World Cup, with the best crowned just before the tournament kicks off.

In the final last-16 encounter, Leigh Griffiths’ (first) free kick against England beat Kenny Dalglish’s pearler against Spain.

Now, we’re into the quarters and, it’s Griffiths’ second free kick in that game against that overhead kick by Scott McTominay against Denmark.
