McFadden the hero as super Scots give France the Bleus

SCOTLAND took a giant step towards qualifying for the 2008 European Championships with an amazing 1-0 win over France in the Parc des Princes.

After surviving a first half of almost total French domination, lone striker James McFadden scored a glorious 30-yard drive in the 63rd minute to give Scotland all three points.

Alex McLeish’s side are top of Group B, having taken six points from the French and with two of their last three games at Hampden Park.
