Her Majesty's Government of Gibraltar has sent its warmest congratulations to the players of Lincoln Red Imps after their stunning victory over the might of Celtic FC.

Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said: "Tonight's victory demonstrated true Gibraltarian spirit. We might be small, we might be inexperienced at the international level but we are not unnerved by our opponents' reputation nor by the odds against us.

"Without doubt this is the best result since we joined UEFA three years ago and we cannot wait for the return match in Scotland next week.

"We also wish Europa FC all the very best for their Europa League match against AIK Football Club on Thursday in Stockholm."
