A group of fans from one of Scotland’s remotest outposts of the Tartan Army were inundated with offers after an SoS appeal for a driver for their Wembley -bound wagon.
The Caithness fans were stuck after their driver pulled out. But after a desperate appeal, four drivers from Caithness came forward plus three from further afield.
Now businessman Martin Nicolson faces a selection problem...
He will pick the driver of his Scotland-themed motorhome from the Caithness quartet before they set off on Sunday on the 1500-mile round trip that will also see them pick up fans in Glasgow and even an England supporter in Oxford.
But Lee Durrant has been told he can only come on the trip if he wears a kilt and Scotland top and becomes “an honorary Scot”.
The group also includes Tartan Army piper Bob Bell, David Farquhar, Ally Webster, Scott Bell, Euan Scott, Adie Forbes and Neil Smith. Five have tickets for the England game and some have tickets for the other matches.
But the trip faced being given a red card before it was due to set off on Sunday when the original driver pulled out.
Martin, 51, who has followed Scotland to two World Cups – France in 1998 and Italy in 1990 – said the new driver “will be paid accordingly for their services, even though there’s plenty who would have volunteered because of the craic”.
