Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: "Scotland weathered the storm on a Ahamden pitch to sink Georgia to sit top in their group of death in the European qualifiers. The fans can look out their passports and book their tickets to Germany and you would not bet against them reaching the Final. Steve Clarke, his players and his backroom staff have made history by winning four games on a trot from the start of a campaign and merit huge congratulations."

Scott Gowers said: "Thank goodness the Scotland v Georgia game continued as around 40,000 paying fans would be denied access had it been played out at St Mirren’s ground.
