Hell hath no fury like an angry Scotsman.
And our Celtic cousins have had plenty to be angry about when it comes to football for almost 20 years.
Scotland, a nation that consistently produced brilliant footballers for decades, haven’t qualified for a major tournament since 1998, and it looks like it’ll be another four years, at least, before they return to the big stage of international football.
Gordon Strachan’s side lost 3-0 away to Slovakia on Tuesday night, and are now in fourth position in their qualification group for the World Cup.
The crushing defeat away to Slovakia comes a few days after Scotland’s disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Lithuania, and pressure is mounting on their manager.
Despite England’s goalless draw away to Slovenia, the Three Lions are almost certain to take top spot in the group and qualify for automatically for the tournament in Russia.
Scotland will be lucky to make the play-off spot, and judging by the white hot rage of Scots on social media, Strachan will be lucky to last another week in the job.
Not in favour of sacking Strachan.
Am in favour of us never playing international football again.

I liked Gordon Strachan in 1983 but I also liked leather trousers and shoes with no socks then – tastes change.

Scotland's most potent attacking weapon over one game and 52 minutes: the long throw.

Lithuania was first Scotland game I watched in 18 years. Wish I'd picked tonight instead, would have been a better laugh. Roll on #Euro20!
