Scotland secured their place at next year's World Cup with a 4-2 victory over Denmark. Højlund's congratulations to McTominay and the Scottish team on their World Cup qualification drew criticism from some supporters, though the majority praised his sporting spirit.
In stoppage time, with the score at 2-2, Tierney fired a shot from outside the box into the bottom left corner. Subsequently, McLean sealed the crucial victory with a superb strike from his own half.
Earlier, McTominay had broken the deadlock with a spectacular overhead kick in the first half. The former Manchester United midfielder shared a photo of his stunning goal on social media after the match.
He captioned the post: "America, Scotland is coming!"
Several former teammates, including Diogo Dalot and Harry Maguire, promptly congratulated him. Højlund, who started and scored for Denmark, commented: "Well done, mate. Great work."
While some fans respected his comments, others were unimpressed.
One wrote: "This bloke can't be serious."
Another remarked: "Mate, you lost."
Most supporters, however, praised the striker's gracious congratulations: "True sportsmanship, sir. Best of luck in the play-offs."
"Good luck in the play-offs, you were absolutely brilliant tonight."
"True sportsmanship."
