I'm amazed that my local football team was featured. My great-grandfather was a professional footballer and played for Renton, Dumbarton and Glasgow Rangers. Although he played for Dumbarton and The Sons, he was not a Son of the Rock as you had to have been born within the borough of Dumbarton and he was born in Renton. My mum was very proud to be a Daughter of the Rock. My Great-grandfather's photograph is featured with his team in the Hampden Museum when Dumbarton won the Scottish Cup in 1886.
Why are Stenhousemuir called the Warriors?
Gotta love the romance of Scottish football. Second to none.
Chelsea's pensioners is a better nickname than most of these
You forgot to add Celtic are known widely throughout Scotland as The Bheasts. Having the largest scale paedophile ring in world football. Not only that but they refuse to acknowledge it and instead force their victims into horrendous situations having to constantly relive their abuse.
@2:06 The stripes are horizontal.
Scotland approves. 👍🏴
Great video. A lot of research has gone into this and your pronounciation is superb. Well done, from a Jambo!
This is so so good. Its informative , but i actually laughed out loud a couple of times, too. It's maybe some of the funny anecdotes/facts about our clubs delivered in a great deadpan tone. Great work
This was fun. I think Clyde's "Bully Wee" probably takes it for the best nickname, but there are some crackers through Scottish football. There's some good ones in England too, though, might be worth a look at the lower leagues. They're not all 'The Reds' or 'The Citizens'.
When the fifth tier was mentioned I was hoping it would be for what’s imo the best nickname in football but Cowdenbeath being the Blue Brazil. I live that Scottish football rarely use town name for team name and nicknames are normally weird and wacky.
Don’t trot out the stupid made up crap about Dunfermline please
Celtic fans are called the glitter gang or the savilles row bhoys….or anything nonce like
Yes do the hearts video
As a pars fan I'm so happy we got included. Great video bud 👍
You should have included Cowdenbeath fc
Or the blue Brazil
Or Montrose fc
The Gable Endies
Falkirk FC is known as The Bairns as someone from Falkirk is known as a Bairns. This comes from the Falkirk Coat of arms as the writing on the bottom says "Better meddle wi the deil than the Bairns o'Fawkirk" which means your better messing with the devil than kids of Falkirk
Great video, well played man.
Rangers will always be knowing as the huns, regardless what team you support cause no one likes them, period, this whole "we don't like us we don't care" such big words for a team that spat the dummy out and cracked down away allocation whilst moaning the same was being done to them, make it make sense🤣🤣
9.01 LMAO
this is a very well put video, you should do a part 2 as there is a TONNE more from division 1 to non league not included. i for one was not aware of the motherwell being the starter of the Viking thunderclap and im scottish
First up Aberdeen formed in 1903 not 1909
Really enjoyed this video. Spent many hours playing Football Manager looking at all the nicknames and deciding which Scottish team to be (Ayr United, Dundee United and Ross County probably the most memorable ones). I've always been strangely drawn to Scottish football despite being English, love reading about how good all the teams were before the 90s.
Attila the Hun used to fight the Roman empire. So Hun is just a refrence to them.
Good explanation of the Dundee United nickname, although you missed the most important part – where a local newspaper reporting on the match described the Dundee United teams as "taking to the sand like Arabs" and the name stuck.
There was also a hilarious situation a number of years ago when Dundee United played AEK Athens in Europe. A Greek paper did an article on Dundee United, where it correctly told the story about the nickname "The Arabs". It then went on to tell the wholly incorrect story of how "the team is nicknamed 'The Terrors' due to the association between Arabs and terrorism."
great video
Missed Falkirk here. Will have to watch again
Arbroath being called the Red Lichties refers to the Red Light that was used to guide fishing vessels into the harbour.
Overall an excellent video.
Still a team in Scotland called the wasps. Allow athletic
Great video but, fact, Arbroath's nickname, "The Red Lichties" does not originate from the Bell Rock lighthouse, but from the colour of the lamp used to mark the entrance to the harbour mouth. Similarly, the Peterhead football team, from a fishing port further north, were known as "The Blue Lampers". Finally, Brechin is not pronounced BRECKON (Brecon is Welsh) but Breach-in, the /ch/ being voiced like Scottish loch (not English lock), from the International Phonetic Alaphabet /X/, as also occurs in Spanish and Basque phonetics.
FYI that marvelous photo at 8:18 is the mighty Partick Thistle (The Jags) versus Queens's Park (The Spiders) at the field of dreams Firhill Stadium.
Aberdeen quite obviously known as the dons because of the river there’s no debate surrounding that fact
