Nicola Sturgeon sent her congratulations to England after Gareth Southgates side booked their place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.
But the First Minister was quick to remind her neighbours that Scotland are still the only team to remain unbeaten at Wembley during the European Championships.
She wrote “Congratulations @England. (Still just one team unbeaten by England so far in Euro 2020)” before adding a cheeky wink and the Scottish saltire.
England ran out winners against Germany tonight thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling at Wembley.
They will now face either Sweden or Ukraine who are in action at Hampden Park tonight in the final match of the round of 16 stage.
Scotland picked up their only point of Euro 2020 when they battled to a point at Wembley against England in their second group stage clash.
But Steve Clarke's side ultimately fell short of the knockout stages after losses to both the Czech Republic and Croatia.
Congratulations, @England

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
