Scotland matchwinner James McFadden has urged his country to push on and seal qualification for the 2008 European Championships, following a stunning 1-0 win in France.

Everton forward McFadden scored a superb clincher in Paris, having also been on the scoresheet four days earlier as Scotland won 3-1 at home to Lithuania

The Toffees ace said afterwards: "If we qualify then I'm sure that will be the best night I've had.

"We have got some big games coming up, so hopefully we can carry it on. But obviously it's a great result, one of the best in most of the players' careers.

"They are one of the best teams in the world and we've managed to beat them. It's fantastic, but the job is only half-done.

"We need to knuckle down for the next three games and try and take maximum points. But the game against France hammered home that we have got a chance."
