Mr Martinez, who has followed Hibs ever since he came to Scotland from his native Belize to aid the war effort, told the Daily Record after the game: “It was the best day ever.

“My highlight was actually the first goal. It was then I actually thought: ‘we can do this.

“When that final whistle blew, I was the happiest man in Hampden.”
