Party at the Rock tonight.

Gibraltar, the tiny nation competing in its first qualifying campaign at the senior international level, now have their first-ever competitive goal.

Lee Casciaro, a police officer by trade, etched his name into the country's history books with a cool finish in Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland. The 33-year-old accepted a pass, found himself with plenty of space and calmly slid the ball under David Marshall before wheeling away in celebration.

Scotland scored shortly after to retake the lead, and barring an act of biblical proportions, will win this match.

For a team who came into the match with no goals scored and 21 conceded in four games, this is a stark improvement for Gibraltar.
