‘Haaland has Dykes posters on his wall’: Scotland fans react to comeback victory against Norway

Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean were on target late on as Scotland ran out 2-1 winners in Norway.

Even the most optimistic members of the Tartan Army probably did not see that one coming.

Scotland made it three wins out of three in Group A thanks to a thrilling victory against Norway in Oslo.

Manchester City’s superstar striker Erling Haaland fired the Norwegians in front from the penalty spot but late goals from Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean gave Steve Clarke’s side a most unlikely victory and made it a 90 minutes to savour for the Tartan Army.

Unsurprisingly, the Scotland supporters were full of praise for the national team for grinding out the three points when a defeat looked inevitable.

Dave McLaren wrote: “One of our best ever results away from home I think. Hampden Park is going to be rocking on Tuesday night.”

Stuart Cruickshank joked: “I’ve just witnessed a robbery!”

Andrew Brown wasn’t expecting the thrilling finale, writing: “Rollercoaster of emotions, thought we were awful apart from Robbo and Hendry for 85 mins, then two late goals and am bouncing about the room so happy.”

Alan Downie had no doubt on what was the game’s turning point, saying: “The funniest thing is Norway subbing Haaland off to see out the game and conceding two in a matter of minutes after that.”

But spare a thought for poor Stephen Fearon who wrote: “I went to the toilet and missed both goals!”

Too much respect shown to Norway

Despite the win, Liam Lobban felt there was plenty of room for improvement.

He wrote: “Didn’t see that coming looked like we could have played for 180 minutes and not scored a goal.

“Brilliant to get the result but we showed far too much respect to an overrated team who haven’t had any significant results in the past few years.

“Georgia aren’t mugs so we can’t be expecting to turn up and win against them.”

John Ewan tweeted: “I doubt the beer prices in Oslo will stop the party.”

Scottish singer Terry MacDermott wrote: “Utterly superb. Haaland has Dykes posters on his wall.”

Steve Mathewson wrote: “Some turnaround in the last 15. Not sure we deserved it on the overall balance of play, but we’ll take it.”

Scott McElroy wished more people could have been able to watch the match which was screened live on Viaplay.

He wrote: “It’s time to get all our national games on terrestrial TV! Let’s make sure all this generation knows all the players, just like I did. Nights like this deserve it!”
