THAT MOMENT. 27 YEARS OF WAITING.

You could feel it from Shetland to Stranraer. Goosebumps singing Flower Of Scotland, roars at bicycle kicks, screams “NO WAY!” at goals from the half way line, full time whistle. We felt it in every pub and every living room. This video says it all.

THE CALLS THAT CAPTURED A NATION 🥹

From tears to total euphoria, these Scotland fans gave us the calls we’ll always remember. What a week. What a moment.

SCOTT ALLAN’S REACTION SUMS UP THE WHOLE NATION 🙌

Scott Allan couldn’t hide his emotion as Scotland finally booked their spot at the World Cup - and honestly, same. His reaction is exactly how fans across the country felt in that moment.

THE CALL THAT LEFT THE WHOLE PANEL IN BITS 💙

Only football can do this - phone in and suddenly have half the studio wiping their eyes. One of the best and most emotional calls we’ve ever had on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard

KENNY McLEAN… AND THE MOMENT WE ALMOST DROPPED OFF-AIR 🤣

Look, we’re professionals… allegedly. But when that goal went in? CHAOS. Actual chaos.

SCOTLAND… WE'VE JUST MADE HISTORY! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

After 27 years of waiting, dreaming, and daring to believe - WE DID IT. The roar across the nation? Unbelievable. The pride? Through the roof.

THE GOAL WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS 🤯

Best ever Scotland goal? We’re just asking the question… but we’re also kinda answering it: YES. The height. The technique. The finish. The celebrations all over the country. This one is special.

CAMMY BARNES PERFORMS LOCH LOMOND 🥹

As the celebrations rolled on, Cammy Barnes delivered an unbelievable version of Loch Lomond exclusively for Clyde 1. Honestly? The perfect soundtrack for a historic night. Because after a night like that… what else could you possibly sing?

HUGH KEEVINS… AS BRAVEHEART?! 😂

Because of course he did. “Fate does not win football matches” - but apparently Hugh does.

GEORGE BOWIE’S BIG SPEECH 💪🏼

Appetite for inspiration? George Bowie delivered. This is the exact energy the boys needed - and we did too.

SIMON DONNELLY’S 1998 THROWBACK 😬 🤣

Simon Donnelly looks back on his Scotland national team days - the memories, the moments, and everything in between.

AND FINALLY… THE MESSAGE THAT HITS DIFFERENT NOW 🔥

“Will this be the year?” he asked.

Well… George…

IT ONLY TOOK 27 YEARS BUT AYE - THIS WAS OUR YEAR.

Scotland believed. Scotland delivered.

The team’s ready. The country’s behind them. And after nearly three decades… Scotland are finally back where we belong.

LET’S DO THIS. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💙
