FORMER England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson was tasked with reading Scottish Twitter in a hilarious new video.
Released by Paddy Power, it shows Sven battling through some of the most famed Tweets from Scottish social media.
The Swedish football manager, who was in charge of England from 2001-2006, reads out: "Just got 4 drinks at the drive thru n that guy asked 'do ye wants a cupholder'. Obviously a do ya fucking reprobate am no a fucking octopus."
"Well, it's something to do with arms, I guess," ponders Sven.
And that's very much one of the milder examples. The others...
As it's the World Cup, here's Sven reading Scottish Twitter...#WorldCup pic.twitter.com/zsKrX9cV2t

His facial reactions are perhaps the highlight of the video. It's a picture that speaks a thousand words ... though few of them in Scots, it seems.
Still, there's time to learn Sven. We'd invite you to read our fine Scots columnists as an excellent way to learn.
Though we don't think he'll be taking Rab Wilson's spot...
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
