Donny Strathie
Definition
A devoted, long-serving member of the Tartan Army (Scotland's national football team's fan base) who became a symbol of national loyalty and tragic irony by passing away in late 2026 at the age of 76 while traveling to the United States to watch Scotland’s World Cup appearance.
A touchstone for contemporary Scottish football culture, often invoked during the 76th minute of matches as a mark of respect and remembrance for his commitment to the national team.
