The official world record stands at 2.2 seconds thanks to Vuk Bakic who also scored direct from the first whistle in a match in Serbia in 2012.

Kris Commons hold the current record for fastest goal in senior football in Scotland, netting in just 10 seconds in a game against Ross County in January.

Maryhill won Saturday’s game 3-0.
