Ahead of the England vs Scotland Euros game on tonight, it is fairly likely that that Yes Sir, I Can Boogie will be heard at Wembley Stadium.
The UEFA Championship games so far have seen England beat Croatia and Scotland be defeated by Czech Republic.
Friday's match will be the final game played by both teams before advancing to the next round of the football championship.
Scotland can thank defender Andrew Considine for the 1970s disco classic being adopted as their unofficial national anthem.
In November, Scotland ensured an end to their 23-year absence from major men's tournaments by triumphing in the penalty shootout against Serbia. The celebrations went on long into the night in Belgrade and included the squad bouncing around the dressing room to Baccara's hit Yes Sir, I Can Boogie. The footage of which went viral after being posted by the Scottish National Team Instagram account.
The song by Spanish duo Baccara, which spent a single week at the top of the UK charts in 1977, was originally adapted by fans as a tribute to Aberdeen cult hero Considine after the 33-year-old famously danced to the song on his stag do.
The defender, with a face full of make-up and dressed up in drag, pulled out the dance moves to the tune alongside his friends and father. The video was later played on his wedding day in 2015 and shared on YouTube shortly afterwards.
Considine has spent his entire career at Aberdeen since making his debut in May 2004 and, although playing for Scotland's Under-21 and Under-23s, had to wait until 2020 for his first senior Scotland appearance after players dropped out through injuries and Covid-19. He made his debut in the 1–0 victory against Slovakia, becoming the oldest Scotland debutant since 36-year-old goalkeeper Ronnie Simpson 53 years earlier. His second appearance came against the Czech Republic in the Nations League.
An unused substitute on the night, he may not have made it onto the pitch against Serbia but he was in the thick of the action afterwards, dancing with team mates including Kieran Tierney, Scott McTominay, Leigh Griffiths and Callum McGregor.
The song has remained a fan favourite through to this summer and was heard loud and clear at Scotland's opening game of the European Championships against Czech Republic at Hampden Park.

"They haven't won anything since 1314"
1316 Battle of Skaithmuir

He did, Anne.
Jim, it was light hearted (if historically inaccurate) banter. Mr BM knows that if England gets knocked out, I'll be right behind Scotland.
Loved hearing Loch Lomond before kick off. But having been a fan of Runrig for over half my life and Scotland meaning so much to me he was not surprised.
