Scotland’s first match at Euro 2020 might not be until Monday, but Patrice Evra is already dressed for the occasion with a kilt and fake bottom.
The former France and Manchester United left-back has shared an Instagram video of himself dancing while carrying bagpipes and wearing a kilt – which he then proceeds to lift to reveal the faux derriere.
“LORD EVRA thank you to all my #scottish people,” Evra posted.
The 40-year-old has become well known for his quirky social media output in recent years, often coupled with his catchphrase “I love this game” – which in this instance was scrawled on his plastic buttocks.
His latest video has proved a hit online, with United and Spain goalkeeper David De Gea responding with a number of laughing emojis.
A five-time Premier League winner, Evra also shared a video of himself dancing with joy on Friday as the European Championship began.
In recent years Evra has both delighted and confused fans with his social media posts.
A video of himself provocatively slapping and kissing a raw chicken went viral in 2018.
Scotland begin their Euro 2020 campaign against the Czech Republic at Hampden Park on Monday at 2pm.
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!
