SCOTLAND'S new unofficial national anthem is a top-five chart smash tonight as fans continue to celebrate the men's team's Euros place.
Beloved in the dressing room and everywhere else, Yes Sir, I Can Boogie by Baccara is at number three in The Official Big Top 40 a mere 43 years after its original release.
Post-match footage of national team players singing and dancing to the tune went viral on Thursday after their penalties prowess saw them knock Serbia out of the park and earn themselves a place in the upcoming European Championships.
The win comes 22 years after they last took part in the tournament.
The Baccara track became a football favourite thanks to Andrew Considine, who got into drag to record a spoof video on his stag do in 2015.
Baccara - Mayte Mateos and María Mendiola - have since sent their congratulations to the squad, with Mendiola describing the Scottish enthusiasm for the track as "an injection of vitamins".
The song is the second-highest new entry on the UK's biggest chart show, coming in higher than hits by Sam Smith, Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande.
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!
