The Scotland national team holds the joint honour of being the earliest national football team in the world, alongside England.

The first international football match took place in 1872 between the two. Tickets to Scotland national team games have therefore been around before almost any other ticket to international football game. Many (including legendary Scottish manager Jock Stein) could point the finger and say that over years the Scots have fixated on the games against England to the detriment of other matches, but that is not the case; Scotland qualified for five consecutive World Cup tournaments between 1974 and 1990, one of the best records of any national side in the world.

Scotland beat then World Cup holders England 3–2 at Wembley Stadium in 1967, and understandably this sparked massive celebrations for the Tartan Army, the nickname for the Scots hordes who travel everywhere with their team, wearing traditional costume and playing the bagpipes. In September 2007, Scotland beat World Cup 2006 finalists France 1–0.

Scotland play most of their home games at Hampden Park, Glasgow. Hampden established itself as one of the true greats of the football world many years ago, as the vast oval terraced scene of riotous cup-finals between the Old Firm, Celtic and Rangers. Almost the entire stadium was uncovered, unusual for a football ground in a country with such poor weather, but this contributed to Hampden’s mystique as a tough and enormous place to go, beneath a glowing Scottish sky. Scotland tickets were snapped up and even revered over the years as football has evolved, and indeed Hampden itself has been subject to several modifications over history. Hampden currently has a 52,000 capacity, vastly reduced from its amazing glory days of old. In its heyday, Hampden filled with over 100,000 roaring people, being pelted by the hard rain, but warmed by the camaraderie of football fanaticism. When Scotland hosted England in 1937, 149,415 fans attended the match, and the atmosphere was otherworldly.

The sight of the Tartan Army, covered in every possible colour imaginable, playing the bagpipes, waving the yellow flags with the rampant red lion, while the Scottish team play flowing football on the park in their navy blue shirts and white shorts, is one which will never leave you. Buy Scotland tickets and enter a world of passion and heart, one where the demons and spirits of ancient rivalries come out to dance, to sing, and to make merry. Scotland the Brave will never surrender, so expect a fantastic atmosphere every time.
