Former Dundee United midfielder Ryan Gauld scored his first goals for Sporting Lisbon last night but still ended up on the losing side.
The 19-year-old, who joined the Portuguese side in a £2.2 million deal in July, netted twice in the first 20 minutes of the League Cup Group C tie with Belenenses.

However, the hosts hit back to win 3-2.
Gauld’s progress in Portugal continues to be a popular topic back home in Scotland, with comedian Kevin Bridges among many tweeting about his goalscoring exploits.
Brilliant to see Ryan Gauld banging two goals in for @SportingCP_en tonight! Yaldy!!
