A great soundtrack with some great songs and maybe also underrated.
 today it celebrates his 23rd anniversary

It's not as bad as you think it might be... or maybe I just give it some slack because it's Scottish and about football, or maybe it's just because I went into it with extremely low expectations. :)

Some "kind" soul has put the whole thing on youtube :)

As usual I was just giving an opinion that nobody asked for.

I like the movie. I watched the movie 3 times.
It is a BIT naive and idealized but I don't mind, it is a movie afterwards!

I think I saw this movie ages ago, but can't remember much about it. The soundtrack stuck with me though. Anyone have a favorite track from it? I'm trying to remember which one I liked best.

Four In A Row is by far the standout track from the soundtrack IMO.

On a general point, the overall sound quality for the soundtrack is a step down from what we are used to. From memory it was recorded at a studio in Scotland rather than the fancy places that they were used to so I guess that's why. Also, according to wiki MK is credited on bass! (I have the CD in the room I am in just now but I can't be bothered going and digging it out to check all this :) )

Four In A Row is controversial for me:) Yes, Mark on bass guitar.
