ALBIONSAINT Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Not sure if a thread has been created about this before (official disclaimer) but was wondering what would be a good alternative to our current national anthem? My own choice would be this simple, elegant song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaksoft Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 I used to really like Flower of Scotland but it was replacing Scotland the Brave so that was understandable. Now I hate it. Can't think of a decent song to replace it though. Perhaps Loch Lomond or God Save the Queen (joking!)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remembered watching the cameras passing Jim Leighton in the 80s and 90s while STB was being played. I can't trust my memories anymore so I checked. From Wiki. "Scotland the Brave" was played before matches involving the Scottish team at the 1982, 1986 and 1990 FIFA World Cups.[3][4][5][6] "Flower of Scotland" was subsequently adopted by Scotland for use at FIFA-sponsored events, after its usage by the Scottish rugby union team.[6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) GStQ in Argentina. I got into several 'discussions' with fans of the deid club for my lack of reverence while that was played.

truesaint Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 A more upbeat rehashed version of this with deeper vocal aggression. It's got a bit of drums, bagpipes, decent lyrics. Needs a bit of imagination but could see it working. Would actually do a whole rebranding thing and change the thistle logo as well. Time for a change and relaunch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
