Scotland fans outraged by laser distractions during penalty

Scotland fans were upset after a troubling incident involving Scott McTominay in their recent match against Greece. The team won 1-0 thanks to McTominay’s first-half penalty. This victory gives them an advantage for the upcoming second leg at Hampden Park. During the penalty, McTominay was surrounded by four Greek players trying to distract him. Referee Tobias Stieler tried to separate them, but McTominay faced another challenge. Spectators in the crowd pointed lasers at him just as he was about to take the kick. Despite this, he managed to stay focused and scored. Scotland fans expressed their anger online. Many pointed out the lasers shining in McTominay's face. One fan asked how many lasers were aimed at him, while another mentioned that they hoped UEFA would take action. A few fans called the behavior embarrassing and disgraceful. Former Scotland striker Steven Naismith commented that laser pens are common in away games. Greece attempted to stage a comeback in the second half but struggled to score. Coach Steve Clarke acknowledged their performance, noting that Scotland played well in the first half but faced more pressure later. Clarke praised his team's defense, saying that goalkeeper Craig Gordon didn’t have to make many saves. He added that the match was still open heading into the second leg. Clarke humorously noted that he also had a laser shone in his eyes during the game.
