The lads at Scottish football podcast Open Goal have been given a well earned call up to the Scotland national team squad ahead of the Euros this summer.
In a video released on their social media sites, the Open Goal team all received ‘call-ups’ to Steve Clarke’s squad and they are now being given access to both the men and women's team ahead of the Euros this summer.
With the show becoming a huge hit in the Scottish football world, and a sellout Hydro date still around the corner, fans have been told to “Expect hijinks, behind-the-scenes footage, singing, and hilarious interviews”.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
