A reading taken between 21:48 and 21:50 — when McLean’s audacious shot hit the net — was measured as a surge of between -1 and zero on the Richter Scale and produced the equivalent of 200kW, enough to power between 25 and 40 car batteries. The full-time whistle also produced a reading, as did Kieran Tierney’s superb goal to give Scotland a 3-2 lead. Stadium events causing seismic activity in Scotland are not unheard of.
