UEFA have officially clarified that Scott McTominay's 'goal' against Spain on Thursday night was ruled out for offside, despite referee Serdar Gözübüyük signalling that it had been disallowed because of a foul by Jack Hendry on Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon.
The big screens in the Estadio de la Cartuja also stated that a foul had been the reason the goal had been chalked off in controversial fashion, but UEFA have now responded to a query from Herald Sport to confirm it was Hendry's positioning that was penalised.
Further queries put to UEFA around how and when the officials arrived at that decision given the initial indication was for a foul to have taken place, and if they would consider releasing the audio of the conversations between the on-field officials and the VAR team, as yet remain unanswered.

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!
