TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has described Scotland’s performance against Brazil during the World Cup as a “hard watch”.
The Glasgow-born broadcaster, 66, reflected on the team’s final group game in Miami on Wednesday night which resulted in a 3-0 defeat.
Kelly continues to support her home country in the competition, and said she has her “fingers crossed” for Scotland in the upcoming matches.
Appearing on ITV’s This Morning, she said: “Last night, oh, that was a hard watch. It was a hard, hard watch.”
Scotland must wait until the last group games conclude to see whether they make it to the knockout stage, with only the top eight teams who placed third in their group advancing.
The men’s team currently sit at number seven out of 12 on the third-place table and will need to wait a few days to see how other teams fare.
Kelly described the anticipation as a “horrible thing”, adding: “We might get through, we might not get through. Who knows? Fingers crossed.”
The TV star went on to praise the “amazing” Tartan Army fanbase and said she is “so proud” of them, as they have made a positive impression in the US so far.
Kelly also discussed her trip to the country last week to attend Scotland’s match against Morocco in Boston on June 19 – which resulted in a 1-0 defeat.
She told hosts Ben Shepherd and Cat Deeley: “The trip was great. It was fantastic from start to finish. I couldn’t believe it.
“I’ve never seen so many men in kilts – it was a joy. It was an absolute joy.
“The community just took everybody into their hearts. It was incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“We didn’t get the result against Morocco – that daft early goal,” Kelly added, reflecting on the disappointing outcome of the game.
The star also shared several posts to Instagram during her trip, documenting her football festivities which included travelling back from the game in an extravagant party bus.
When asked about the form of travel, Kelly praised “some fantastic fellas” for inviting her onto the bus and said: “We basically just kind of hitched a lift on that great bus – it was like a great big car, really. It was huge.
“It was great. The singing was great, the dancing was great, the booze was great, everything was fantastic. It really was.”
