Rather than talk down a “small” Inverness CT support in Dumfries on a Friday night, talk up every single one of those who are there. Diehard fans who love their club, fair play to them all.

Or rather, Kieran f*cking Tierney. It was OT for KT as he completed a sensational 887/900 mins on the pitch, only coming off against the Faroes at home - after providing 3 assists - then again late on Monday.
The ultimate warrior of qualification. Winner.
