Scottish fans transform Fenway Park with World Cup anthem

Scotland fans transformed Fenway Park into a sea of tartan supporters singing 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie', the 1970s Baccara disco hit that has become the nation's unofficial World Cup anthem. The sight of Boston's iconic baseball stadium bouncing to the song, 3,000 miles from home, marked a memorable moment for Scotland's supporters at the tournament.

The song's origin story spans over a decade. Former Aberdeen defender Andy Considine, who won three Scotland caps, featured in a stag-do video during his weekend in London, dressed in drag and dancing to 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' during an elaborate five-hour studio shoot in Shoreditch with his best man and family members.

Considine revealed on the Open Goal podcast: 'I got dolled up... my dad and uncles did too. As the hours went by, it just got more ridiculous.' The video was revealed during Considine's wedding speech and remained a cult phenomenon for years.

The song suddenly went viral during Scotland's Euro 2020 qualification and has since become inseparably linked with the national team's identity at major tournaments, culminating in the Fenway Park celebration.
