Scotland chants: Best Tartan Army football fan songs, lyrics & videos

Ooooh! Yes sir, I can boogie
But I need a certain song,
I can boogie, boogie-boogie all night long!
Yes sir, I can boogie If you stay, you can't go wrong
I can boogie, boogie-boogie all night long!

The 1977 disco hit Yes Sir, I Can Boogie became a Scottish football anthem in the lead-up to Euro 2020, when the team qualified for the tournament.

Naturally, the full song is played, but it is the chorus that is mostly heard around the grounds before and after Scotland games.

Read the full story behind the Yes Sir, I Can Boogie.

We know we ain't no Argentina...
But we've got John McGinn. John McGinn! John McGinn!
And Robbo out on the wing. On the wing! On the wing!
No Scotland, no party!
Steve Clarke's Tartan Army!

Nick Morgan's catchy number 'No Scotland, No Party' became the unofficial anthem of Scotland in the lead-up to Euro 2024.

With lyrics that recall past failures and the inability to progress past the groups of a major tournament, it sounds an optimistic note while paying tribute to John McGinn and Andy Robertson.

O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him (against who?!),
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
To think again.

'Flower of Scotland' is synonymous with Scottish sport and it has been belted out with gust on the terraces of Hampden Park for years now.

Oh Scott McTominay!
I love him til my heart aches,
He loves the Tartan Army,
He turned the English down!

Scotland fans adore Scott McTominay not just because of his exploits on the pitch, but because he also rejected the chance to play for their neighbouring rivals, England. Sung to the tune of 'I'll Stand By You' by The Pretenders, the fans profess their love for the midfielder.

Oh, Diego Maradona!
Oh, Diego Maradona!
Oh, Diego Maradona!
He put the English out! Out! Out!

You put your left hand in, left hand out.
In, out, in out, shake it all about!
You do the Maradona and you turn around,
That's what it's all about!

(Repeat)

The demise of England at the hands of Diego Maradona's Argentina at the 1986 World Cup is a source of great mirth for Scotland fans, who regard the Three Lions as their biggest rivals, so it is perhaps little surprise the legendary Argentine inspired this one!

For you'll take the high road and I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye,
Where me and my true love will never meet again,
By the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

A traditional Scottish folk song, The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond, or simply Loch Lomond, is a favourite of the Tartan Army and is frequently sung at half-time games to get the crowd going again. Sung at both rugby and football matches, it was popularised by the band Runrig - check out their brilliant version sung on the banks of Loch Lomond here.

(Quiet)
Steven,
Steven-Steven,
Steven-Steven
Steven, Steven Fletcher!

(Loud)
Darren!
Darren-Darren,
Darren-Darren,
Darren, Darren Fletcher!

This one is a variation of the classic 'Kolo Toure-Yaya Toure' chant, with former Scotland internationals Darren Fletcher and Steven Fletcher - no relation - replacing the Ivory Coast brothers.

(Verse 1)
When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, yeah, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's haverin' to you.

(Chorus)
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door!

The Proclaimers' 1988 hit 'I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)' is a longstanding anthem of the Scotland fans at Hampden, particularly the chorus, where they heartily proclaim that they would walk 500 miles - and 500 more!
