Steve Clarke’s Scotland side have just written their names into the history books.
Celtic hero Kieran Tierney’s incredible winner was one of three worldies scored on a mad night at Hampden which saw the Scots book their place at next year’s World Cup.
This will be their first appearance at the tournament since 1998, and many Scotland supporters celebrated long into Tuesday night.
Not all Celtic fans are Scotland fans, as we know – but Frank McAvennie played for both in his successful playing career.
He has now braved a question that many of us have answered before.
Frank McAvennie answers ‘Celtic or Scotland’ question
McAvennie was on his Let Me Be Frank podcast with Simon Houston and Cillian Sheridan.
They were discussing Scotland’s achievement, just like every single other person in the country currently is.

He was asked the question of what he’d rather see: Celtic winning the Champions League or Scotland winning the World Cup.
He said: “Celtic winning the Champions League? Winning it? That’s never going to happen is it? Very good.”
Host Houston replied: “It doesn’t matter if it’s never going to happen, this is a fantasy.”
McAvennie then joked: “My fantasies are a bit better than yours, then.”
He went on to attempt to answer to the question: “Listen, I would like the two of them. But Celtic to win the Champions League, eh? I would have that.”
Sheridan then interjected: “Celtic have won it, though. Scotland have never won the World Cup.”
“Aye, but he says again,” McAvennie replied. “Celtic have won it, good answer, never thought of that. But they did, yeah. The European Cup, same thing.”
It’s fair to say, he didn’t take the bait.
What Celtic players were in the last Scotland squad to play at a World Cup?
It isn’t mentioned enough that over a third of the last Scotland squad to play at a World Cup was made up of Celtic players.
Four of the starting eleven in the opening game against Brazil were Celtic players: Craig Burley, Darren Jackson, Paul Lambert and the unfortunate Tom Boyd, who scored the decisive own goal.
Jackie McNamara came into the starting eleven for the final group game against Morocco, and with Tosh McKinlay appearing from the bench.
Simon Donnelly and Jonathan Gould didn’t appear at the tournament, despite being in the squad.
