Meet the striker who doesn't score often - but Scotland win when he does

Lyndon Dykes has reached a major finals with Scotland after a lengthy journey, and the striker is prepared for the challenge against Morocco. Dykes, known for his aggressive style, has a notable statistic: Scotland has won every match in which he has scored. This includes a crucial goal in a 2-0 victory against Austria in March 2021, a game that marked Scotland's first major tournament qualification in 23 years. His scoring record, while not prolific, is directly correlated with team success, highlighting his impact beyond just goals. Dykes has also been a consistent presence in the Scotland squad, earning 37 caps and scoring 10 goals. His role is often described as a workhorse, contributing significantly to team performance through his defensive efforts and ability to hold up play, which indirectly benefits the team's offensive capabilities. Despite not being a primary goal scorer, his presence on the field and his contributions in other areas have proven vital for Scotland's recent successes, including their qualification for Euro 2024.
