It has been three decades since Ewan McGregor famously told viewers to ‘choose life’ in the opening scenes of Danny Boyle’s hit film, Trainspotting.

Now in a quirky take on those opening credits, Scots singer Lewis Capaldi narrates a new version of the monologue ahead of Scotland’s World Cup opener with Haiti on Sunday – telling fans to ‘choose Scotland’.

The humorous clip by Adidas features midfielder Scott McTominay, who’s epic bicycle kick goal helped the national team qualify for the tournament in America, and the team skipper Andy Robertson.

But instead of running through the rough inner city streets of Edinburgh like McGregor’s character Mark Renton, McTominay looks cool in sunglasses and leather jacket as he races through sunny Naples, where he plays for Italian side Napoli, to the original movie soundtrack.

He even pinches a slice of pizza from an outside diner on his way, as Capaldi, who is filmed packing his Scotland shirt into his suitcase, compares the two countries, saying: ‘Choose tatty scones on a Tuesday and pizza on a Wednesday’.

Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh also makes a special cameo in the one minute clip, which amassed more than one million views in just a few hours.
