Aidan Smith: Time to forget the rivalry and watch the football
What are we to make of the advert for the European Championships where the Tartan Army are reduced to tramping a gloomy hillside, with the only consolation appearing to come from their copious supplies of deep-fried confectionery and the knowledge that the Krankies are still alive and still in gainful employment?
“Where the hell are you from? We’re from Skoat-land,” sings/whines a bloke with burst-sofa orange hair. You might then spot the retired footballer, Frank McAvennie, gnashers to the fore, and the burly form of another ex-pro, Andy Goram – but I’m afraid I needed the office’s celebrity Z-list expert to confirm that the burly chanteuse with the Saltired cheeks is Michelle McManus. Oh how quickly some of us forget, if indeed we ever knew.
