Scots leave their mark at Wembley

Scottish construction workers have reportedly left a stash of Scots memorabilia under the 'hallowed turf' of the new Wembley.

The Scotsman says builders left tartan scarves and Scotland shirts under goal lines, penalty spots, the centre circle and the England dugout.

Workers apparently carried out the stunt after being the targets of banter and jokes from English colleagues, about Scotland's failure to make it to the last two World Cups.

Celtic and Scotland legend Billy McNeill said the prank would mean the 1977 rampage would not be repeated.

He said: "At least it will save us taking pieces of turf back home with us again."

Scottish fans notoriously ripping up much of the turf and smashing up the goalposts at the old Wembley after a 2-1 victory in 1977.

Good move although they shouldn't have said where it all is. If it's dug up you're going to see a lot of this

I saw this story the other day and it reminded me of how in certain places doing something like this is part of "black magic" rituals - what would happen is because there's the vibe of the opposing team embedded in the very substance of the place by putting the strips in, there will be a benefit to that opposing team when they play...

Here's hoping it works for the Tartan Army!
