But policeman Lee Casciaro was the hero on Sunday, scoring Gibraltar’s first ever goal in a European qualifier against Scotland.

The final result was 6-1 to Scotland, but the goal is etched in Gibraltarian history forever.

Bula was sacked as manager in March for acting in an ‘aggresive manner’ during filming for a Sky documentary and for making ‘derogatory comments’ against the GFA in a newspaper report.

He ‘totally refutes’ the decision and an unfair dismissal appeal has been set in motion.

It comes after the GFA put damning allegations about a plans for a national stadium at Europa Point to bed, for now at least.
