It's telling that Andy's forced into stressing his 'Britishness' these days when he previously was proudly Scottish (which, I assume, he still is). The power of PR and advertising I think!
It is the media who tries to make an issue of this. He has almost always referred to himself as British, even before he became a top flight player.elster said:

They're in a minority if they do - a very small minority.

They would also refer to themselves as Scottish.
Much like I am a British Yorkshireman.
At international sports, who do the Scottish play for/support other than Football/Rugby/Cricket?
I am pretty sure it is Team Great Britain.
