| Singer's Strip To Support Scotland |
 |
| John Dingwall Exclusive DARIUS Danesh has again proved he is a true Scotsman - but this time without his kilt. The singer strikes a cheeky pose in nothing but a Scotland jersey to show his support for the national team as they take on Germany today. But at least he has a strategically placed football to spare his blushes this time. He mistakenly showed off his ball skills during a recent concert at the Clyde Auditorium when he knelt down while wearing the kilt. Back in Scotland after a sell-out tour, Darius, 22, is looking forward to a good show from Berti Vogts' boys today. He said: "There is bound to be a bit of niggle in the game as Berti is German and the German coach, Rudi Voller, used to work for him. "Both have enormous experience so anything could happen - and Scotland are always at their best when they appear to be down and out. "For morale and ego's sake, there is a tension there already. This has all the makings of a memorable match. "We should never write Scotland off. I'm certainly hoping we can pull off a shock result." The strapping pop star, from Bearsden, Glasgow, says he loved the beautiful game during his youth. He said: "That was the best part of being at school, kicking a ball around the playground during lunchbreak." Darius, whose new single Girl in the Moon is out on Tuesday, also spoke for the first time about his gig mishap. The Record switchboard was jammed with fans asking us to print our raunchy photo, rather than the sanitised version. But Darius laughed off the fuss, saying: "I'm amazed to hear fans are offering good money for the snap. "I was obviously the victim of a clever photographer as I had angled myself so that there was no way the crowd could see anything. I'm always a true Scotsman but I must admit I had been warned to wear briefs as another band on the bill, Triple 8, had threatened to lift my kilt up on stage."
