The Scottish Football Association took the decision in 2006 to put the word ‘Alba’ (Scottish for Scotland) on the Scottish national football shirt, but we are still waiting for the Scottish Rugby Union to follow suit.

The Scottish Rugby Union currently plays the song Loch Lomond by Runrig, which contains the line (added by them) “ho mo leannan, ho mo leannan bhoidheach”. Considering the enthusiasm which the Murrayfield crowd was singing it during the six nations, it seems ironic that the SRU can blare Gaelic out of the national stadium’s speakers, and pay for the right to do so, but not put a simple four letter word on the national strip!

Cymru/Wales proudly displays its language on its national rugby shirt, so why shouldn’t Alba/Scotland?

Sign the petition to the Scottish Rugby Union if you agree: http://www.petitiononline.com/cleague/ petition.html

I think 'Shit' would be a more appropriate 4 letter word to have on the top.

Does it really matter?

For what it's worth, I think they should have "Hi!" in a Homer Simpson style.
