Warriors Enlist Tartan Army
Comments(6)Fearless Leader Bob wants to know what team worldcupblog readers will be adopting for the World Cup. The Welsh and the Wümme-Jumbies are already behind the Warriors. Now, the Tartan Army is joining our ranks.
It’s all thanks to Jason Scotland.
The talented 27-year-old striker has been one of the star players for St. Johnstone FC this season, scoring goals with abandon. He’s as big a hit with the fans as he is with management: a recent competition held by the club’s fanclub, the Super J’s, offered a giant poster of Scotland as the prize.
Talent aside, there’s the advantage that his last name is – well – Scotland. A Trini named Scotland playing for the Scots against the English. Now that’s globalisation.
Reports 
The Scotsman:
The official jersey of the Trinidad and Tobago striker Jason Scotland, who plays for St Johnstone, is in so much demand that the maker, Adidas, is sending extra deliveries north of the Border…There is no doubt that is who everyone in the Tartan Army will be supporting. A lot of people have got the older shirts with ‘Scotland’ written on the back, and there are already loads of bidders on eBay. They will all be Scotland supporters buying them, there is nothing surer.
Genius.
[...] The Tartan Army are once again showing their support for T&T (via Jason Scotland) – this time in song. [...]

[...] After the outpouring of support from the Irish, the Welsh and the ‘Trinidad and Tobago Tartan Army, I suppose it was only a matter of time before one of our European opponents got behind our cause. [...]

I’ve heard the “official” T&T song… think it’s incredibly catchy… ingenious even… and should be marketed to all the German radio stations in the vicinties where T&T are playing their games – don’t forget BFBS!
Oh yeah… did I mention I’m an ex-pat Scot living in Germany…?? Guess who I’ll be supporting!
I was in a pub with about 12 English supporters and about 2 T&T fans. Ill have to say that the T&T fans never gave up even at the end. So being a fellow colonial boy (an Aussie), I decided to cheer with them much to the dismay of my British mates.
Good job to both teams but especially T&T for playing such a good game but just missing out in the end.

[...] Worldwide Vibes – I’ve said before that T&T fans are the best in the world. More than ever, our devotion seems to be spreading overseas. The Tartan Army had already joined the ranks of the Warrior Nation, and the Wümme-Jumbies of Rotenburg love us so much that they’ve changed their town sign to read “Soca Village.” The Welsh refuse to be outdone – Wrexham AFC, of which hero Warrior Dennis “Tallest” Lawrence is captain, is doing a brisk trade in Lawrence replica t-shirts and T&T wristbands and flags. I wonder how many Welsh fans will still be rallying behind the Warriors on May 27th, when we play Wales in a friendly in Austria? Hmm. [...]
