"Over the last 50 years sport has become critically important to national identity, particularly for a stateless nation like Scotland," says Tom Devine, department of Scottish history at Aberdeen University.
"Scotland's national game, football, is extremely important." Oh well then.

And now you know why we love England so much (can't believe the retardedness on display in this thread)
Woooo i was curious so i looked around a little and found this which does indeed confirm my total naiviety :P
Scotland's national sport is Football (known to some as Soccer) which is played widely on both a professional and amateur basis. Most cities and towns have a professional team. For such a small country we have had a remarkable record in international competitions such as the World Cup.
Football has been played in Scotland since at least the 15th Century. It had reached such popularity with ordinary people that in 1457 an Act of parliament decreed "that the Fute-ball and the Golfe be utterly cryit doune and not usit". Football seemed to survive. By 1871 the first international between Scotland and England was played in Glasgow (the score was 0-0). The following year the Scottish Football Assocation (SFA) was formed as the sport's governing body in Scotland, with the support of eight clubs. Also in 1872, Rangers Football club was formed in Glasgow. Celtic were formed and played the first "old firm" game against Rangers in 1888, beating them 5-0.
In 1885 the world record was set for the greatest winning goal differential, when Arbroath beat Bon Accord 36-0.
For the record the above was copied from a little known website...
