Cristiano Ronaldo takes the huff at Hampden – Siu replaced by boos as Portugal superstar pocketed by Scotland
At the age of 39 years and 253 days, Cristiano Ronaldo can now finally tick the box, claim one up on Lionel Messi, and place himself alongside Pele and Maradona.
No career of a footballing galactico can be truly complete without making an appearance at Hampden Park. Or so us proud Scots might like to claim
Pele graced the hallowed turf in 1966 in a 1-1 friendly draw with Brazil. Maradona visited with Argentina in 1979 and scored his first international goal in the process. Messi may have three more Ballon d’Or trophies than the five claimed by the superstar from Portugal, but he has never made an appearance at the oldest international football stadium in the world.
Ronaldo’s trip to Scotland took him to St Mirren’s SMiSA Stadium, down the flumes at Cameron House Hotel on the banks of Loch Lomond, and into the back pocket of Grant Hanley.
The Norwich City centre-half and defensive partner John Souttar managed to keep the Al-Nassr forward at bay during his 94 minutes on the park as Scotland claimed a credible goalless draw to avoid the unwanted history of a fifth successive defeat for the first time in their history.
