2. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 15:03 Except its not……the same as all “bank holidays” where only people who work for the government will be entitled to it, and any other jobs will be covered by employers discretion. Reply

4. Author: neils Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 16:43 It`s not dour, it`s true! Not everyone (yet) works in the public sector. Reply
5. Author: buffy Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 16:46 Still good for me 😂 ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply

That was my first thought as the Scottish Gov dont care about private sector other than to tax it Reply

8. Author: neils Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 17:24 Not one of those on the `pilot scheme` of 4 day 32 hour weeks. I guess it will be those with `the broadest of shoulders ` i.e. us . Reply
9. Author: Bertie Paton Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 17:46 Aye, tax payers from the private sector can fund it. It`s an SNP gimmick with the Scottish elections just before the world cup. Reply
10. Author: SusieQ Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 18:39 Don`t see the point tbh - it`s not like the game is Sun night / early Mon morning. I work bank holidays, Christmas & New Year aside & deal with English banks so no danger my office will close. It`s also my last working day before I fly to Boston, cause I had to keep my trip under 3 weeks without having to get authorisation from the big bosses, so again - no danger I`ll be off 🤔🤣🤣 COME ON YE PARS!

11. Author: red-star-par Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 20:02 Don`t see the point having the Bank Holiday at that time - much better waiting till after the final, get the boys back here with the trophy Reply
12. Author: Jimmy riddell Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 20:12 Political gimmick. Nothing less. Might be different if Scotland were playing the night before but they’re not. Reply
13. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 20:22 Jimmy riddell, Mon 5 Jan 20:12 Political gimmick. Nothing less. Might be different if Scotland were playing the night before but they’re not. This is my thoughts also Loving You, Is In My DNA 🇾🇪 Reply
14. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 21:06 I know most will still be working but who the hell would turn down a paid bank holiday just to complain we don’t need one? Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte Reply
15. Author: neils Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 21:11 It`s just vote buying, we are entitled to complain. Reply
16. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 21:53 neils, Mon 5 Jan 21:11 It`s just vote buying, we are entitled to complain. Yeah but would you care if you get a day off? Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte Reply
17. Author: neils Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 22:09 Unless I had to pay the bills -no. Reply
18. Author: DBA Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 22:28 neils, Mon 5 Jan 21:11 It`s just vote buying, we are entitled to complain. Vote buying? No one is voting based off getting a 1 day bank holiday. Just another excuse for the usual suspects to repeat "SNP Bad" for no reason tbh. Reply
19. Author: veteraneastender Date: Mon 5th Jan 2026. 22:30 It`ll be interesting to see what "people who work for the government" encompasses. Obviously not the emergency services for a start. Reply
20.

It`s not really a reward / celebration if "most will still be working" 🤔 After the Brazil game / we get knocked out, I can understand but it really is pointless what / when it`s being suggested. What happens if we do another Peru / Iran / Costa Rica?!! A day of mourning instead?! A (n extra) day off after the Denmark game would have been extremely helpful tho 🤪🥳🤣 COME ON YE PARS!
