Yeah, we... I mean, not in with Rod Stewart, obviously.
It's enough to say that you got in.
We ended up in the square you were talking about.
At the Hotel de Ville, about 10,000, mostly Scottish supporters, some Brazilians, and then anyone who supported anyone, not Brazil, was supporting us, so it was a great atmosphere.
I think there was about 60,000 Scots went over there, and clearly not all of them were in.
Ian, I just want you to tell me the story about the flag because I've read about it and it's one of the greats.
So take it away, please.
Also, sorry, I've been there.
This is a big flagpole.
This is like, I don't know how tall that is.
You've been called up flag.
And what kind of state was the flag in after a couple of weeks?
This was watched by probably half a billion people around the world, opening game of the World Cup.
When Flower of Scotland was ringing out,
I mean, when they come out for the warm-up with the kilts an hour before or whatever, the Hotel de Ville, everyone kind of looked and thought, oh, wow.
The two things I remember before I watched it in a square were the kilts and John Collins winking when the national anthem was played at the camera.
