Former Claymores team-mate says Super Bowl-bound Lawrence Tynes is the 'real deal'

The eyes of America will be on Scot Lawrence Tynes as he attempts to kick New York Giants to another Super Bowl in Indianapolis on Sunday.

Greenock-born Tynes' stock has rocketed after nailing the kick in a sodden San Francisco that booked the Giants' place against New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.

It was the second time he had made an NFC Championship-winning kick; also famously killing off Green Bay Packers at a frozen Lambeau Field in 2008.
