Scotland’s World Cup qualifying campaign was at risk of petering out with a whimper last night as they headed for a goalless draw at home to Slovenia.

The sight of Chris Martin coming off the bench late on did not inspire confidence in too many, with the Championship striker having netted only twice for his country beforehand.

Martin has 10 goals for Fulham this season, where he is on loan from Derby County.

One Celtic supporter made clear his lack of faith in Martin, pledging to switch allegiances to bitter rivals Rangers for a couple of months if the striker scored.

This might have been one promise too far, with Martin inevitably popping up to score a winner to give Scotland’s campaign a lifeline.

We won’t hold our breath waiting for @immybhoy69 to post an image wearing a Rangers shirt, but fans of both clubs were quick to start giving him stick on social media after Martin found the net.
