He then rushed to the airport to catch his flight to Paris, where he was planning to watch the game with the other fans who weren’t lucky enough to have a ticket for the match.

“I had a friend waiting outside to dash to the airport and then we got to the big square in the centre of Paris literally at the moment that Scotland got awarded a penalty.
“It was just amazing to see that moment, it just went wild,” he said.
John Collins scored the spot-kick to level the score at 1-1 against Brazil, giving fans the belief that an upset could be on the cards against the defending World Cup champions.
