A SCOTLAND fan who has been living in Oz for over a decade will be getting up at 4.45am to watch his team make history.
Scotland fan David Wilson, who lives in Bondi in Australia with his wife and children, has taken social media by storm by recording his own version of the Scottish national anthem.
The keen musician's version of Flower of Scotland has a Baccara twist - a fitting tribute to the national team before the 8pm kick-off this evening.
The team will face off against England in their second game of the Euro 2020 tournament.
David said: "I don’t usually do this kind of thing, but it’s been 23 years since Scotland's men's team reached a major tournament, so why not!
"Anyway, it’s about time the national anthem was revamped ... just in time to meet the Auld enemy!
"C’mon Scotland! Time to Boogie!"
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
