Susan Boyle issued a message of support to the Scotland football team from her new £245,000 bungalow ahead of their match against Haiti.
The singer, 65, who hails from Blackburn, West Lothian, posted a video of herself to Instagram wishing the team well hours before the game in Boston where Scotland won 1-0.
In the clip, Susan, dressed in a grey coat, said: “This message is for you lads. I had a dream and Scotland has a dream. You can do this!”
She then opened her coat to reveal a Scotland jersey and said: “No Scotland, no party.”
Susan filmed the video from her new, modest two-bedroom bungalow. She reportedly relocated near Falkirk in March to be closer to her manager, Geraldine Easton, as they plan her next steps.
Modest home
The singer, who has a reported net worth of £30 million, has made several attempts to find her forever home, all of which ultimately left her craving her modest former lifestyle.
Before she found global fame after her I Dreamed a Dream audition on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, Susan lived in a three-bedroom former council house which bought for £65,000.

Susan ultimately decided it wasn’t for her and, instead of selling it, allowed her niece to live there. She then purchased the house next door to her former council house for £110,000 in 2014, combining the two properties to create her dream home.
Speaking about renovating the property to make it look “bigger and more homely”, she told Edinburgh Evening News in 2019: “The house has been needing doing up for some time, I was beginning to lose things in it.
“I’ve had the kitchen done, the living room papered, the floors done and a summerhouse put out the back.”
Over recent months, fans have been mesmerised by the singer’s appearance and her transformation as she dyed her hair from a deep brunette to a caramel blonde, with many claiming it made her look “years younger”.
As she marked her 65th birthday in April, fans couldn’t help but compliment the switch-up in the star’s appearance. One said: “Susan, you look awesome, your new colour is perfect on you, took some years away!” and another posted: “You have such a beautiful glow lately. Your hair colour looks fabulous on you as well as your style!”
