SCOTLAND ANTHEM BORN FROM ABERDEEN DEFENDER'S STAG DO VIDEO
A Scotland football anthem has emerged from a music video filmed during Andy Considine's stag weekend in London over a decade ago. The former Aberdeen defender, who earned three caps for Scotland, appeared in drag dancing to the 1970s Baccara hit Yes Sir, I Can Boogie. The song has since become a rallying point for Scottish supporters, most notably when it was played at Fenway Park in Boston during a recent summer of matches. The video's origins trace back to Considine's celebration of his eldest son's birth in Aberdeen, when relatives Victor and Liam spontaneously sang the Baccara track in karaoke bars throughout the day.
The stag do video came together in Shoreditch following a drinking game that left Considine, described as "blootered" by late morning, unprepared for what lay ahead. His best man informed him that a professional music video would be filmed that day at a large studio with dedicated make-up facilities. Considine, dressed in a drag outfit, was joined by his father and uncles in recording their version of the 1977 chart-topper. The finished video documented the former centre-back and his entourage performing the disco hit.
The makeshift production has since transformed into an unexpected cultural phenomenon for Scotland's travelling supporters. What began as a private celebration amongst close friends and family has resonated across international sporting events. The song's resurgence demonstrates how grassroots content created during personal milestones can achieve widespread recognition. Considine played nearly 600 times for Aberdeen during his career and has subsequently discussed the video's creation during a 2021 interview.
