Staying up for Scotland

Should I stay up and watch Scotland? I am Scottish, oh yes. Born to Scottish parents in Renfrew, where I followed Rangers. Then we moved to Dumfries, where I followed Queen of the South and my hero was a bullet-headed centre-forward called Billy Houliston, who did manage one cap for Scotland. We moved over the border to Carlisle when I was 11 and I got teased in the playground for my Scottish accent. Wish I had it now. Today it’s just sort of nondescript northern, which no one can idetntify.
