Leeds United goalkeeper Alan Martin, who is on loan at Barrow, produced a fine performance to keep the home side out. At the other end Scotland had a number of good chances throughout the game.

 

Shinnie, Goodwillie and Hanlon all had good chances for Scotland in the second half but Maguire was the Scotland hero as he turned the game around when he was introduced as substitute with about 20 minutes to go. He latched onto a Paul Caddis pass and looked set to score as he rounded the keeper but he was hauled to the ground. Maguire had the confidence to get up and coolly slot home the spot kick.

 

As Scotland's bid to reach the 2011 UEFA U21 Championships, they will now face Albania in the second game of the double-header at The Falkirk Stadium on Wednesday 1 April, kick-off 5.30pm.

We couldn't score. Maguire comes on, wins penalty, he scores, we win.

I'm biased though!

Having a good game so far. Tracking back, put in a lovely cross and had a bit of an assist for Goodwillies goal.

Maguire scores a goal, albeit a tap-in.

Rebound from a Maguire strike sets up the 3rd.  :thumbsup:

Best player on the pitch this evening!  Well done young man & please bring this form back to pittodrie!

Yep credit where credit is due.

Well done Bebo

5-2 FT

 

Stephen McGinn of St. Mirren just scored a Berbatov-esque goal from a Chris Maguire corner!  Honestly it was brilliant!

 

Brilliant game to watch... Scotland were superb going forward.  Result flattered Albania too, whose only real contribution was a couple of wonder goals!

So what you're saying is, bebo should take our corners instead of Smith? 

[El Padre™]

I always said Maguire was a top class player. None of you believed me.

Maguire up front with Miller on saturday? Have we ever had them up front as a pair?

Fucking hell.

 

April Fools.

Someone on MAD said there was a banner saying "Bebo is a legend" 

 

I hope the confidence he has gained from playing well for Scotland is transfered for the jersey of Aberdeen!
