As we all know, this Sunday marks the last time the Tartan Army will ever sing Flower of Scotland before knowing the referendum result. The last time 'we can still rise now, and be the nation again' will be sung as a challenge to ourselves, a hopeful ambition, and a call to action.
At every game after that we'll know the referendum result, and we'll know if Scotland collectively seized it's chance. From then and for the next few years we'll either say the words with bitter disappointment (if we can bring ourselves to say them) or we'll be singing it triumphantly with pride, knowing that 'we rose'. Either way, the anthem will be charged with very different emotions in front of Georgia and Poland in October.
Sunday night will be the last time our generation of the Tartan Army will sing this line with a question mark after it without knowing the answer.
So let's make Sunday night's Flower of Scotland rendition one for the ages, and blast the roof off the away end.
COME ON SCOTLAND!!!
