The Celtic Star’s Player of the Year (thanks to Sandman’s wonderful Definitive Ratings throughout the season) was tonight’s goalscoring hero – he incidentally was outstanding at Wembley but underscored by the mainstream media – in an exciting first half.

Scotland started brilliantly but yet again failed to take their chances and then came the sucker punch. It looked a long way back for Scotland as Croatia gained the initiative with their goal on 17 minutes but they didn’t factor in the Celtic man’s liking for a goal at the national stadium.

So it’s 1-1, next goal the winner? Going to be some second half…Come on Scotland!
