SCOTSMAN BARS OUR TARTAN TROOPS Aug 20 2003

Bob Shields Exclusive

THE Tartan Army got a frosty welcome in Oslo yesterday - at a pub called The Scotsman.

The football fans were stunned when the Tartan Army's official piper was given his marching orders for playing a few tunes.

And they voted with their feet by following piper Calum "Spud" Fraser out the door.

Scots in the Norwegian capital for tonight's friendly had swamped the city centre bar because of its name.

But when Spud got out his pipes, he was told to leave by security staff.

Don said: "It was crazy. Spud must have played in a thousand pubs with the Tartan Army.

"Usually, he's dragged into places by pub bosses who want to get a party going.

"This is the first time he has ever been asked to leave. Maybe they just don't like the bagpipes."

Spud said: "Since we arrived, Norwegians have been smiling and asking me to pose for photographs. The only person who doesn't seem to like me is the owner of The Scotsman."

By last night, however, the Tartan Army had found a new drinking venue - called The Dubliner.
