As part of the United Kingdom, Scotland do not have an agreed national anthem and the nation’s government said in 2015 that there were no plans for an official song.
In international sports events, Scottish players usually sing “Flower of Scotland” before matches and this is the anthem which will be heard prior to the team’s games at Euro 2024.
While England use the official United Kingdom national anthem “God Save the King” (“God Save the Queen” when the British monarch is female), that tune is less popular north of the border.
