Nineteen-year-old Alex Stewart, from Forfar, was among those who were celebrating.
“For me it’s the first time seeing Scotland at a World Cup and watching us win a game is unbelievable.
“We’re sitting top of the group. It opens the group up entirely.”
Looking ahead to the next two games in the group, he added: “You’ve got two big names in Brazil and Morocco… just go for it.”
Craig Stewart, 31, also from Forfar, was “ecstatic” about the result.
While he admitted the performance had been “shaky”, he said the result was what mattered at the end of the day.
