CRICKET Scotland picked up a famous victory over Bangladesh at the T20 World Cup yesterday and they clearly celebrated in style.
Footage has emerged from a post-match press conference with Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah where he is interrupted mid-sentence by a rendition of Flower of Scotland.
The national anthem was being belted out by the Scottish players as they celebrated in the changing rooms after their impressive win.

Cricket Scotland posted the footage on Twitter with the caption: "Sorry we will keep it down next time".
They added: "Credit to Mahmudullah for his composure!"
All-rounder Chris Greaves was the hero as Scotland got their campaign off to a dream start with a six-run victory over highly-fancied Bangladesh in Muscat.
The 31-year-old Greaves, in only his second T20 international, top-scored in his side’s 140 for nine and then took two crucial wickets with his leg spin as Scotland held their nerve in a tense finish.
“We were in a tough situation obviously,” Greaves told Sky Sports. “It was a just (a case of) re-building the innings at that stage and see where we could go from there.
“It was unbelievable that I could be that person, to be a part of that is incredible.
“It was my day I think. There will be many other days when any one of us in that squad can be a part of it. I’m just so glad I could contribute what I did.”
