MUSICIANS from all over Scotland are giving their backing to the Scottish National Team ahead of Euro2020 this summer.

The LaFontaines recruited goalkeeper David Marshall - known for his playoff heroics and his now-iconic celebrations - for their track Scotland, Bonnie Scotland.

An infectious upbeat number, the chorus swings to a familiar note in the form of Baccara’s Yes Sir, I Can Boogie.

The video for the track, released today, June 1, features Marshall along with football stars Charlie Mulgrew, Chris Burke, Gary Caldwell, Kenny Miller, Suzanne Grant and Kris Boyd and a host of famous faces including Grado, Storm Huntley and Jonathan Watson for a pre-Euros kick-about.

Kerr Okan, The LaFontaines frontman, said: “Like the rest of the nation, that night we were watching the game and kicked every ball with the team and we were podcasting after it talking about what it meant to qualify for the first time in 23 years.

"So, as a joke, we just decided that what the nation really needs, after a result like that, is for us to write the National Team's anthem so that's what we did.

"We wrote it live on the podcast in 30 minutes and went to bed. We woke up the next morning and it had gone low-key viral with people saying it was our best song. From there players and fans started sharing it. It's magic, I'm absolutely buzzing!”

Elsewhere, Scott and the Eejits turned out a heart-wrenching ballad to get the faithful buzzing ahead of kick-off.

The Bannockburn outfit released Whatever It Takes which has been gathering waves of support from all over the country.

Furthermore, royalties from iTunes purchases and streams throughout June will be donated to Strathcarron Hospice.

There are plenty other tracks to get the Tartan Army in the mood this summer, including Our Moment by Ayrshire singer Nick Morgan.
