CRICKET Scotland picked up a famous victory over Bangladesh at the T20 World Cup yesterday and they clearly celebrated in style.
Footage has emerged from a post-match press conference with Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah where he is interrupted mid-sentence by a rendition of Flower of Scotland.
The national anthem was being belted out by the Scottish players as they celebrated in the changing rooms after their impressive win.

Cricket Scotland posted the footage on Twitter with the caption: "Sorry we will keep it down next time".
They added: "Credit to Mahmudullah for his composure!"
All-rounder Chris Greaves was the hero as Scotland got their campaign off to a dream start with a six-run victory over highly-fancied Bangladesh in Muscat.
The 31-year-old Greaves, in only his second T20 international, top-scored in his side’s 140 for nine and then took two crucial wickets with his leg spin as Scotland held their nerve in a tense finish.
“We were in a tough situation obviously,” Greaves told Sky Sports. “It was a just (a case of) re-building the innings at that stage and see where we could go from there.
“It was unbelievable that I could be that person, to be a part of that is incredible.
“It was my day I think. There will be many other days when any one of us in that squad can be a part of it. I’m just so glad I could contribute what I did.”
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!
