While the rest of his Portuguese teammates jetted back to their homeland or other various locations dotted around Europe, Cristiano Ronaldo stayed put in Scotland for an extra night.
The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus star opted to spend a third night in Glasgow - but at a different venue - before flying back to Saudi Arabia this afternoon.
The 39-year-old global superstar was spotted leaving Blythswood Hotel, a plush, five-star venue in Glasgow city centre earlier today.
He may have been angry when departing the Hampden Park pitch following last night's 0-0 draw between Scotland and Portugal, but on-lookers described Ronaldo as calm following a night of relaxation at the Blythswood.
It's believed he was spotted at the spa facility within the premises this morning.
