The latest release from Rodeo Terrorists begins with a surprising premise: a 55-year-old English IT manager deciding that Scotland needed a new football anthem. The result is “Saltire (Tartan Army),” released on 27th March 2026 and created as a lively tribute to Scotland’s supporters.
Richard’s connection to Scotland is central to the song. Although he is English, he studied in Scotland and has long considered the country a second home, which gives the anthem a genuine sense of affection beneath its comic timing and football banter.
The track blends Celtic flair with electronic pop-rock energy, aiming for the kind of hook that can travel easily from headphones to terraces. Its playful spirit nods to classic football-song tradition while updating the formula with a modern DIY approach.
There is also a deeply personal reason behind the release. Richard is raising awareness of Motor Neurone Disease and intends to support MND Scotland through the single, honouring the memory of a close friend who passed away.
