Skote imamo pobijedit

Ne mogu se uhvatiti Ola
ni Mandzukica, a bogme ni Dudu
zabit cemo barem 2-3 gola
kiltovi su dosli za zaludu

Stajat ce nam blizu, al' daleko
kao kamen ne mogu se maci
vjerujte da bit ce kak' sam rek'o
nasu mrezu ne mogu dotaci

Skote imamo pobijedit
Skote nemamo sta stedit
Skot je skrt, al' ce nam platit
s nulom ce se kuci vratit

Skote imamo pobijedit

The narrator’s confidence is deliberately absurd: Croatia will score two or three, Scotland’s players will be unable to move, and the visitors will go home with nothing. The refrain makes the result sound inevitable before the match has even been played. That is the familiar supporter’s ritual of converting uncertainty into bravado, with the opponent’s supposed thrift turned into one more cheap joke.

The lyric names Croatian footballers and imagines the Scottish team’s kilts as a visual prop, but the entry does not date the match or give a score. Rather than identify a specific fixture without evidence, it is safer to read it as a pre-match fan song built around national rivalry. No independent review of Bulić’s parody was located. The comedy is in the narrator’s certainty: every sporting possibility is flattened into a promise that the other side cannot touch Croatia’s net. It preserves the emotional theater of fandom, where belief is often loudest before the evidence arrives.

The lyric’s boastful chorus belongs to the pre-match tradition of sports comedy, where exaggeration is part of the ritual rather than a serious prediction. Scotland’s players are mocked, Croatian stars are invoked, and the outcome is declared before kickoff because the song’s real subject is the supporter’s confidence. The references to kilts and national stereotypes are broad, but they make clear that the humor depends on rivalry. With no fixture date or result attached, the piece is best treated as a snapshot of fan bravado, not a factual report. Its pleasure lies in hearing certainty before the game can challenge it.
