It shows three members of the Tartan Army take over the poster's video, with one getting their attention saying: "If you're gonna post thing can I just say one thing ... "
He then set to work with a dramatic performance of the speech, with two friends joining in midway through.
He said: "Run, and you may live. Fight and you may die.
"But dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to tell our enemies, thaqt they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"

TikTok user JamieBradley saw his wish come true after he commented yesterday: "This needs to go viral, well in lads".
And the owner of the account who posted the TikTok, Gully Singh, replied: "Share it lads! We need to find these stars too, tag them."
The clip follows Scotland's devastating 3-1 defeat at Hampden Park on Tuesday in a friendly match celebrating 150 years since the two teams played for the first time.
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!
