When they needed a win to move into the play-offs for World Cup 2018, Scotland could only draw 2-2 in Slovenia in their final qualifying game.
Gordon Strachan’s side’s hopes of reaching the tournament in Russia next summer were cruelly taken away as their opponents rose above them in Group F on goal difference.
The country will now not have participated at a World Cup finals in over twenty years and the wait goes on.
This is a selection of the best jokes as Scotland fail to qualify for Russia 2018 after a 2-2 draw in Slovenia:

If you were born in Scotland, brought up in Scotland and follow a Scottish football team, yet support England, you are a cunt!

Don’t know what’s more of a challenge – Scotland winning this game or fans finding a stable illegal stream to watch it on. #SVNSCO

The normal procedure of glorious failure dictates that we should get an equaliser in the 88th minute or so. #SVNSCO

I'm feeling a great disturbance in the force. Like a million Scottish sounding voices shouting out "FFS" over and over again #SVNSCO

A game that sums up 'The Cycle of Scottishness' –
1) Optimism.
2) Belief.
3) Doubt.
4) Devastation.
5) Hope.
6) Desolation.#SVNSCO
