Cristiano Ronaldo was brutally trolled by a commentator during Portugal’s draw against Scotland.
On Tuesday night, Steve Clarke’s men produced a spirited display to hold Euro 2016 winners Portugal to a 0-0 draw at Hampden Park.
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo endured a tough evening as he failed to find the back of the net and his frustrations boiled over after the final whistle as he fumed at referee Lawrence Visser.
During the match, Ronaldo was trolled by former Celtic man Charlie Mulgrew, who was commentating on the match.

After Ronaldo had failed to control the ball, commentator Andy Bargh said: “There's a hole in his boot!”
Mulgrew then replied: “Don't often see that from Ronaldo, eh? Starting a motorbike! I did it plenty of times but you don't see it from him.”
The 38-year-old was comparing the motion of starting a motorbike to Ronaldo’s stance, with his foot raised and the ball going past underneath, claiming it looked like he was trying to start a motorcycle.
At the end of the match, Ronaldo was seen fuming with the referee as he threw his arms up into the air and clapped sarcastically while walking off the pitch.

Mulgrew pointed out that Ronaldo was ‘absolutely raging’ as he chuckled at the Portuguese legend’s expense.
Reacting to Mulgrew’s commentary on social media, one fan said: “He was brilliant all night. A breath of fresh air in the commentary box.”
Another tweeted: “Honestly, Charlie Mulgrew might be the best guy of all time.”

A third fan added: “This is brilliant from Charlie Mulgrew on commentary about Ronaldo’s touch.”
Someone else wrote: “Ronaldo losing the plot for a full minute and Charlie Mulgrew saying “he’s absolutely raging”.”
A fifth commented: “We need to hear more Charlie Mulgrew on co-comms. Some of his wee one liners last night were class! Analysis of the game was really good, too. A nice change from the same old voices.”
