SCOTTISH star Martin Compston hailed Scotland's victory over Israel as the “best ever” as he joined fans in celebrating the national team’s success at Hampden Park.
Scotland won 3-2 in the crucial Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifier after Scott McTominay scored the late winning goal.
Compston tweeted a video of him at Hampden Park singing the Yes Sir, I Can Boogie along with thousands of ecstatic Scotland fans.

He then turns the camera to himself, shouting “come on, Scotland”.
The Line of Duty actor, who was born in Greenock, shared the video with his 537,000 Twitter followers as he lauded the atmosphere at Scotland's national football stadium.
Been to a few Scotland games in my time, in terms of pure entertainment and exhilaration that was the best ever. We’ll be coming 🙌🏴 @ScotlandNT @HampdenPark pic.twitter.com/YIgHKZ2UzB

He said: “Been to a few Scotland games in my time, in terms of pure entertainment and exhilaration that was the best ever. We’ll be coming.”
Fans online were quick to agree with the Vigil star, as one wrote: “They'll be a small earthquake of joy in Scotland tonight!”
While another said: “Love this, what an atmosphere."
And a third added: “This is honestly the best thing I've seen!"
Steve Clark’s side now lead Israel by four points in Group F, meaning if Scotland beat the Faroe Islands and Moldova in upcoming games they will secure second place and a play-off spot.
The match was Hampden’s first full house since England’s visit in June 2017.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
