(about 1 hour later)
Scottish Football Association chief executive David Taylor insists his national team is not getting carried away by the Euro 2008 qualifying form. Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon says the players are "trying to keep our feet on the ground" after the stunning 1-0 win over France.
Scotland made it three qualifying wins out of three with a stunning 1-0 victory over France on Saturday. Gordon said the team would not overdo the celebrations ahead of Wednesday's Euro 2008 clash with Ukraine.
"We've got a hard game ahead of us on Wednesday, so well regroup and do our best," he told BBC Sport.
The keeper said Sir Alex Ferguson and Andy Roxburgh congratulated the players in the dressing room after the game.

It'll be tough on Wednesday, but it's good to be sitting top of the table Craig Gordon
The side now travel to Ukraine on Wednesday, sitting at the top of Group B on nine points.
"It'll be tough on Wednesday, but it's good to be sitting top of the table," Gordon said.
"Sir Alex Ferguson and Andy Roxburgh came into the dressing room after the France game to say well done.
"The lads were saying after the game that the last good result we had against a big side was the 1-0 win over Holland (in the first leg of the Euro 2004 play-off).
"We then got hammered in the second leg - so we'll keep our feet on the ground."
James McFadden said the France win was the best of his career
Everton forward James McFadden said "everyone's flying at the minute" after the victory.
"What a feeling, it's the best results of my career," he said.
"I regretted the silly challenge for my booking, but at least I didn't get sent off.
"It's a messy dressing room in there with socks and stuff everywhere."
McFadden was reluctant to compare Scotland under Walter Smith and his predecessor Bertie Vogts.
"Every manager is different," McFadden said.
"The current squad is settled and, apart from tonight, we mostly play the same system.
"The players have belief and confidence and we're looking forward to the Ukraine game."
