Rangers forward Kemar Roofe scored his first goal for Jamaica in their 2-0 win over Honduras early on Thursday morning.
The 28-year-old slotted home the opener just before half time, and Gers fans on Twitter were very happy to see him get off the mark for his country:
Lovely stuff

Roofe was still in Honduras yesterday and there are concerns over whether he will make it back in time to be available for Rangers’ top-of-the-table clash against Hearts tomorrow afternoon.
Manager Steven Gerrard does, of course, have plenty of other options to choose from up front. In addition to Alfredo Morelos, he can call upon summer signing Fashion Sakala or even Jermain Defoe if needed.
However, having Roofe in the matchday squad for such an important game would be a massive boost. The Jamaican does tend to have a knack for scoring big goals and he would almost certainly have featured versus Hearts.
