Fans who didn't get to St Mirren Park in time to meet Ronaldo shared their thoughts, with one commenting that they were "beyond jealous".

Another said: "Never thought I’d see Ronaldo outside St Mirren Park."

A third added: "When will my time come to see CR7?"

It comes after we reported that the former Manchester United star was spotted enjoying the flume at the swimming pool in Cameron House hotel.
