Scotland defender Scott McKenna has won the first major honour in his career after his Dinamo Zagreb side regained the Croatian title in style.

The former Aberdeen and Nottingham Forest stopper became the first ever Scot to play in Croatia last summer when he moved from Las Palmas to Dinamo.

And he led the celebrations after he played and grabbed an assist in a 2-1 win against Varazdin to officially clinch the title.

Dinamo are 15 points clear with four games still to go as they romped to the league, and won it back after Rijeka claimed it last season.

It's the first winners' medal the 29-year-old McKenna has won in his career.

Dinamo Zagreb boss Mario Kovacevic praised his squad, including McKenna, who is set to win his 50th Scotland cap in next month's friendly at Hampden against Curacao.

He said: "The players deserve all the credit for this.

"We brought in some new signings and they have been incredibly good for us.

"We wanted to end the story with a win and we managed that and now we are ready to celebrate. The players deserve that.

"Next we have a Cup Final to prepare for too and we will do everything to win that."
