Scotland criticised for their unusual post-match meal after Georgia loss

Kevin Beirne

Scotland’s unexpected 1-0 defeat to minnows Georgia has put a serious dent in their qualification hopes as they now trail third-placed Republic of Ireland by four points.

But Gordon Strachan’s men are coming under fire for more than just their performance.

Following a delayed flight in Tbilisi, Scottish players were left to eat Burger King while they waited around the airport.

While it’s not the kind of meal you’d expect a group of professional athletes to have in anticipation of a game with the world champions, we like to think Strachan took the team to Burger King as a group like our coaches used to do for our under-12s team after a big game.
