' Pat Nevin blasts Scottish FA after players were forced to eat in Burger King after European qualifier defeat in Georgia '

Pat Nevin has blasted the 'unorganised' Scottish FA after Gordon Strachan's players were left to eat at Burger King following their disappointing Euro 2016 qualifying defeat in Georgia.

Not only did the team lose 1-0 in Tbilisi on Friday night, but their plane home was delayed afterwards, leaving the players to kill time at the airport before heading back to Scotland.

BBC pundit Nevin, who made 28 appearances for Scotland between 1986 and 1996, was disappointed with the Scottish FA's lack of preparation and planning for the trip, and insisted someone should have been there to stick up for the players.

Hope they went for "The King Of The Day " only £1.99

Or they could have had the meal deal for £3.99

Did they have a Maclost burger ?

Just had a good laugh at this. Imagine being a professional footballer being told to continuously follow a diet, then being given this golden opportunity to have a Burger King! I seriously doubt the players were "forced" to eat there!

If true shocking.

Shouldn't this be on the Whopper thread?

I remember many stories with Wales not so long ago. How many have forgotten their passports ?
Once the flight carrying the team was way over the limit to takeoff and the FAW had to ask the pilot nicely to 'give it a try'. Pmsl

Not that surprising is it?. When it's the early hours, most of the cafes & other healthier shops close. The burger places are the ones that are mainly open.

Complaining about Burger King? They should try eating the crap we have to pay extortionate prices for on match days!

That's why there dishing out shit cas there eating it. But seriously, burger king isn't the only resteraunts in an airport

Laughable, whatever next they were not loved as children?????? The trauma of eating at BK's will leave scars that will be hard to remove.May I suggest therapy as a way forward. Fancy not having a plush Pasta place to dine in Tbilisi Airport in the early hours!!

Doubt if the SFA could have done anything about a delayed flight.

They chartered a flight themselves but messed it up apparently!

Is this a joke??? So what??? Are you telling me that none of those players have had a fast food burger before? And one burger is not going to harm any of those players with the way they train and play weekly, as long as they don't eat a couple of them every week...

They were annoyed there was no McDonalds - they all wanted to add to their "Minion collection"

Boom!

That's different, then! Still, better that they are having a burger in Tbilisi than drinking from four in the morning until noon, back in Scotland, like Barry Ferguson, Alan McGregor and that lot!

I heard about the story of Wales playing somewhere in Eastern Europe in the 70's and the faw committemen were on the same flight . one of the FAW men wanted to take his fancy piece on the trip so one of the players was left behind to accommodate her ( Gil Reece rings a bell) ! I believe his flight had to change twice, plus a long road trip and he only arrived with a few hours til kick off! That's how corrupt the FAW used to be
