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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
