A musical celebrating Scotland qualifying for the 1998 World Cup in France is back touring theatres, 28 years later.

The musical  Over the Top – with the Tartan Army has been reinvented to cheer on Scotland on the big stage this summer.

The play tells the story of two women whose husbands plan to follow Scotland across the Atlantic, leaving them behind at home.
