The pop legends said it felt like "the perfect time" to revive the smash hit and raise cash for charity, as Scotland men’s football team heads to Germany for the Euros.
Singers Rod and Susan Boyle star in the music video dancing along to the song with iconic tartan scarves. The band performed the new version in front of hundreds of Tartan Army before the Northern Ireland friendly match at the Shed nightclub in March and launched the video on Friday, 7 June. Footage from the set was used in the video, which stars scores of well-known faces from the worlds of music, film, television, media and sport.
The idea for a new version of the anthemic hit was born live on air when the Bay City Rollers joined Ewen and Cat at Breakfast on Greatest Hits Radio Scotland in December. Woody, who joined the band in 1974, talked about how the song would turn 50 just when Scotland were heading to the Euros in Germany. He said it was thanks to Ewen and Cat.
