What an experience for our 2011s at the national stadium last night.
The boys were chosen as flag bearers on the pitch beforehand for the 150th Anniversary Match against the Auld Enemy.
Some real excitement getting up close with many of their heroes and carrying out one of the symbolic tasks in the build up to kick-off.
Despite the scoreline they loved every minute, receiving Scotland jackets and seats to enjoy the match.
Thanks to everyone involved!
