Scotland made it three qualifying wins out of three with the stunning victory over France.

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."

Scottish Football Association chief executive David Taylor said the national team was not getting carried away by their Euro 2008 qualifying form.

Now we're a match for anybody SFA chief executive David Taylor

Taylor told BBC Five Live Sport: "We have another seven games to play so we are keeping our feet on the ground.

"We have a very difficult game against Ukraine on Wednesday but we've certainly got off to a great start."

Taylor was full of praise for the way coach Walter Smith has turned around the team's fortunes after some difficult years.

He added: "Walter has brought a bit of stability, a bit of organisation and he has brought out the talent that we have. Now we're a match for anybody.

"He's very focused, he's very organised in terms of planning but one thing I have noticed is the spirit he is really keen on creating among the group of players he is working with.
