Here are the pick of those angry, frustrated, disappointed, passive aggressive and angry, angry tweets.

@ShaughanM: Hopefully Strachan has some real zingy one-liners in his resignation speech.

@MidasForTheGold: I didn’t want murdered in Russia anyway, my parents thank you, Gordon.

@rossdunbar93: Don’t know what is worse: keeping Strachan past the summer, or letting the SFA pick a new manager.

@jamiebeatson: Cheerio Strachan. Scotland so ponderous on the ball. Slovakia no great shakes but attack quickly & incisively. Something we make no attempt at.

@DuncMcKay: I’m not usually one for calling for manager’s heads but Strachan is done. This team is capable of so much more.

@JamesNotThatOne: Hey guys, Gordon Sack’im.

@JamesVonDoom: Strachan is toast. Too stubborn. And that’s ok if you’re winning but we’re no.

@craigpstewart1: I liked Gordon Strachan in 1983 but I also liked leather trousers and shoes with no socks then - tastes change.

@kennywastell: Tactical and selective cluster****. Strachan’s just not up to international management. Zero ideas. Long throws and not much else.

@McBookie: Embarrassing stuff now from Scotland. Strachan has to do the decent thing and hand in his notice.

@pieandbov: When you are getting absolutely thrashed off a distinctly average team then you have to say it’s time up for the manager. Unacceptable.

@ScotComFC: For anyone about to call for Strachan to go, remember that would probably lead to Mark McGhee as interim manager.

@erikgeddes: Next manager of Hibernian. Gordon Strachan 10-1

@Oldfirmfacts1: Embarrassment for Hillary Clinton as new email leak reveals she insisted “Strachan’s the man to lead Scotland to Russia”

@ScottyM1995: It’s an improvement for Strachan. Did he not concede five the last time he took a team to Slovakia?
