Glasvegas hope for Scottish football song
Published Thursday, May 29 2008, 10:14 BST | By Simon Reynolds
Up-and-coming rock group Glasvegas have revealed that they want to write a football song for the Scottish national team.
Speaking to Loaded, frontman James Allan said he would use New Order's England World Cup anthem 'World In Motion' as a benchmark.
"That would be quite cool," Allan said. "The last good football song was the New Order/England one in 1990 - that's the standard."
Allan added that he hoped to recruit Celtic manager Gordon Strachan to emulate John Barnes's infamous 'World In Motion' rap, but worried that the Scotland team weren't skillful enough to appear in the video.
"Maybe Gordon Strachan could do it for us - the Strach rap. The only thing is, I'm not sure the Scottish players could do five keepy-uppies for the video," Allan commented.
