Well, I´m not really a football fan … but I do like watching my important International matches.. and of course I supported Spain in theWorld Cup! But I also enjoy watching the Scottish national team play! On Tuesday there is a very important match, the Euro Qualifier….against Spain!
When Scotland participates in sporting events as a country (not as part of the UK) our “de facto” National Anthem is played, although in fact we do not have an official National Anthem.
It´s Flower of Scotland..Here is the song sung the last time Scotland met Spain last year in Scotland!! Very rousing!!

And here is the more tranquil original version sung by the folk group the Corries:
