Scotland win the 2011 Homeless World Cup

Scotland triumphed at the 2011 Homeless World Cup in Paris, defeating Mexico 4-3 in a nail-biting final. 
It was the second time Scotland have taken the Homeless World Cup trophy, previously scooping the honour in 2007.

Sixty-four teams competed for a place in the final at the Stade de Liberte, and the victorious Scots raised the trophy in front of a rapturous crowd.

Team coach, former Rangers defender Ally Dawson, said: “It’s a great day for these lads. They have done their country proud. They have all been through a lot in their lives, and I hope they go on from this to achieve more success.”

First Minister Alex Salmond sent his congratulations to the squad.

The winning team were: William Lawrence, Robert Hare, William Hamilton, William McLean, Barry Gannon, Sean Lawrence, Matthew Ramsay and James Horsburgh in goal.
