Scotland fans in England noise up as the Tartan Army party with Iran support ahead of World Cup opener

A group of Scots appear to have formed a friendship with the Iranian contingent in Qatar ahead of their World Cup opener against England on Monday.

Scotland failed to qualify after losing a playoff semi final to Ukraine in June but it seems some of the Tartan Army have still made the long journey over to the Middle East to join an estimated one million visitors from around the globe for the showpiece event. Several Iran fans are videoed singing while being interviewed by a broadcaster and in comes six men in kilts who join in the conversation - one who is rocking an Argentina top to completely show his allegiance.

They are asked if they are going to win the clash with Gareth Southgate's side, which one replies, "4-1" while another says, "We are going to win, easy." The Scots are also pictured posing for a photo alongside a man with a Saudi Arabia scarf before England supporters join in the antics by hijacking the moment with a rendition of "It's Coming Home".
