“Saltire (Tartan Army)” by Rodeo Terrorists is not a typical football anthem. Released on 27th March 2026, the single comes from an English musician with a strong personal connection to Scotland and a desire to create something fun, loud and memorable for Scotland supporters.
Richard, the artist behind Rodeo Terrorists, is a 55-year-old IT manager who studied in Scotland and has always felt a close bond with the country. His background also includes years of work in the music industry’s digital side, where he built websites for international names such as Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and Steps.
The song itself mixes Celtic flavour with electronic pop-rock energy. It is humorous and upbeat, but it is not meant as a joke at Scotland’s expense. Instead, “Saltire (Tartan Army)” celebrates the passion, banter and pride of Scottish football culture, with a sound compared to The Waterboys meeting New Order’s “World In Motion.”
There is also a charitable motivation behind the release. Richard hopes the single can help raise awareness and funds for MND Scotland following the loss of a close friend to Motor Neurone Disease. As a result, “Saltire (Tartan Army)” stands as both a feel-good anthem and a personal tribute.
