The Tartan Army have been hailing Steve Clarke and his men after stealing a march on the road to Germany. But now the dust has settled on a momentous week for the national side, the punters have turned their attention to some of the unsung Hampden heroes.
We’ve had Super John McGinn, Brilliant Billy Gilmour and Sensational Scotty McTominay. Let’s have a shout out for the legendary Hampden ground staff and perfect Ryan Porteous. The volunteers helped clear the pitch to pace the way to victory against Georgia while the big defender helped mop up at the back in the winning double header.
Neil Renton, Edinburgh, said: “One of the many highlights of Scotland’s recent results has been the performances of Porteous. The former Hibs defender is proving all his doubters wrong. He could easily walk into either one of the Old Firm sides. Kenny Earle emailed: “We mustn't forget that this match could not have gone ahead without the valiant efforts of the ground staff and volunteers at Hampden Park. These unseen people give up their time without looking for any financial gain and I hope that everyone, from the SFA to the supporters and players, recognise their efforts. Well done to each and every one of them.”
