Rod Stewart Goes Wild Watching Scotland Qualify with Ronnie Wood

Rod Stewart went wild as he watched Scotland quality for the World Cup for the first time since 1998. 

The noise in Glasgow was deafening as the killer blows from Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean put Denmark to the sword 4-2. 

Although Rod, 80, was born and raised in London, he is a lifelong Scotland support due to his Scottish father Robert who was from Leith. 

Taking to Instagram, Rod shared a video of himself jumping for joy alongside Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood. 

The singer threw his hands in the air in celebration before giving Ronnie a hug. 

Along with the Scotland national team, Rod is also a big Celtic FC supporter and even has a Celtic tattoo on his shoulder.

Meanwhile, BBC Sport co-commentators Steven Thompson and James McFadden – men who both knew pain playing for the Tartan Army – went viral for their gleeful reactions as their two stoppage-time goals flew in on Tuesday night. 

Over in Las Vegas, Ally McCoist let fly with his own ecstatic reaction and was left with a hoarse voice for his troubles.

‘Man alive! I’m absolutely, voice is gone,’ the Scotland legend began in a hilarious Instagram video.  ‘Buzzing with a capital B! Buzzing, capital B!

‘Ah man, I’m on a diet coke, my voice is gone, unbelievable lads. Unbelievable! What a finish that was. I just can’t believe it. I’m watching up there [on a screen]. 

‘It’s remarkable, absolutely remarkable. I’m just so happy, man. So happy.’

The win sealed Scotland’s return to the World Cup for the first time since France ’98 and continues the progress seen under Clarke, who has already led his side to back-to-back European Championship berths to make himself the national team’s most successful manager ever. 

Scotland captain Andy Robertson, who conceded the penalty that led to Denmark’s first equaliser, described the occasion as one of the ‘craziest’ he has been involved in.

‘We are going to the World Cup, I can’t believe it,’ he told the BBC’s Kelly Cates, daughter of Celtic, Liverpool and Scotland legend Kenny Dalglish. ‘This could be the last chance I have of getting to the World Cup.

‘I can’t wait to get back to Liverpool and share a red wine with your dad!

‘It’s amazing. The manager’s speech before the game was unbelievable. He went through the big moments down the years, like Serbia and Ukraine.

‘Then he said, “let’s make it another one”. The lads were quite emotional. To do it for him, the staff and our families…one of the greatest nights of my life.’

Scotland’s players and supporters will now turn their attention to the World Cup draw, which takes place on Friday, 5 December at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC at 5pm.

The tournament, staged across the United States, Mexico and Canada from 11 June to 19 July, will be the biggest in history with 48 teams involved.
