Boogie man Andy Will be a Euros star
Five years ago Andy Considine proved he can boogie.
Now he’s being backed to swing on to the biggest stage of all.
The 33-year-old inadvertently set the soundtrack to Scotland’s success after they brought an end to 22 years of hurt by qualifying for next summer’s Euros.
Footage of Steve Clarke’s delirious stars doing a dressing-room bounce to the sound of 70s hit ‘Yes Sir, I can Boogie’ after beating Serbia on Thursday went viral.
Some reckon it could even challenge for the Christmas No.1 spot when the Tartan Army get hold of it.
Unlikely cult hero Considine is behind the rise of the Baccara hit after he let his hair down – not to mention putting on some lippy, a checked mini skirt and bra – and boogied to the pop ditty for a stag-do video.
Former Aberdeen team-mate Willo Flood was just delighted to see Considine had kept his clothes on in the latest viral video sensation.
The midfielder remembers when the video dropped out of nowhere at Pittodrie – and how the Dons analysis team stitched the defender up.
Flood said: “It was great to see those scenes in the dressing room, especially with Andy in the middle of it.
“Nobody deserves this success more.
“I remember the first time I saw that video. We were called in for an analysis session and the boys gathered round expecting to see some highlights of games. But instead we

suddenly found ourselves watching Andy and his mates dressed as women!
“The analysis guy, we called him Bunson, had put it up on the big screen for a laugh.
“I’m pretty sure some of the lads like Mark Reynolds were behind it too and it brought the house down.
“It was great to see those dressing-room scenes in Serbia. What Scotland achieved is unbelievable.
“They were fantastic and it looks as if they have a right good spirit about them.”
Considine’s Scotland breakthrough under Clarke is a fairytale within a fairytale.
Flood believes it is still to reach a happy ending with his old pal named in Clarke’s squad for the next summer’s blockbuster.
Flood said: “Going off his performances against Slovakia and Czech Republic, you’d expect he will be in the squad for the Euros.
“It’s no surprise to me. Andy just needed an opportunity. Now he’s had one and taken it. There’s nobody more deserving than Andy Considine.
“Every day in training he works hard, goes about his business and is no hassle off the pitch.
“He dedicates his life to it and is a model pro and also a very good team-mate.
“He has always been a top centre-back but seems to have improved with age.
“There’s no moaning when he gets moved out to left-back, he just gets on with it and appreciates all he has.”
