TORY MP Douglas Ross was running the line in today's Scottish Cup final between Celtic and Motherwell.
He wasn't missing a key welfare vote to referee a game this time around, but in true Scottish Tory style, he couldn't help tripping up.
Immediately after it happened, Twitter only wanted one thing ... as Humza Yousaf himself pointed out.
Best moment of the 2nd half - Douglas Ross MP decks it a belter! Can't wait to see the meme...

If you're not familiar with his career as a referee but are wondering where you've heard his name before ... it might be from when he said his top priority as PM would be getting "tougher on Gypsy Travellers".
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
