Scotland fans recite iconic Braveheart speech in hilarious viral TikTok

A VIDEO of Scotland fans reciting William Wallace's iconic speech from Braveheart has gone viral on TikTok.

The clip has racked up as many as 1.4 million views since it was posted just yesterday by the gullytalks account.

It shows three members of the Tartan Army take over the poster's video, with one getting their attention saying: "If you're gonna post thing can I just say one thing ... "

He then set to work with a dramatic performance of the speech, with two friends joining in midway through.

He said: "Run, and you may live. Fight and you may die. 

"But dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to tell our enemies, thaqt they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"

TikTok user JamieBradley saw his wish come true after he commented yesterday: "This needs to go viral, well in lads".

And the owner of the account who posted the TikTok, Gully Singh, replied: "Share it lads! We need to find these stars too, tag them."

The clip follows Scotland's devastating 3-1 defeat at Hampden Park on Tuesday in a friendly match celebrating 150 years since the two teams played for the first time.
