Stand-up comedian, TV presenter and football fan Des Clarke will be joining Chappers during the tournament. We caught up with him to find out what sort of supporter he is and what his choice of half-time pie would be...

Team? Celtic.
Favourite player? Henrik Larsson.
And Why? The ultimate defintion of a total pro and he's got that rare quality in football these days - loyalty. He spent 7 years at Celtic, the best of his career. Every season he was linked with big money moves away but he stayed at Parkhead and became a legend there. He also did the business for his country, scoring in 3 successive World Cups for Sweden. He then went on to win La Liga and the Champions League with Barcelona before a spell at Man Utd. At the age of 36 he's been tempted out of international retirement again to turn out for Sweden Squad at Euro 2008. A great player, and the guy has now made more comebacks than Sinatra!
Favourite terrace chant? And why? 'We're gonna deep-fry your pizzas. We're gonna deep-fry your pizzas!' As you can see, us Scots don't vary the tune too much but you don't need to when you're such great lyricists! This one started up during the Euro 2008 qualifying matches against the Italians as my fellow Tartan Army members attempted to wind up the Italians. The irony is deep-fried pizza is actually quite popular North of the border, and most of the Italian chippies serve it anyway!
What kind of football supporter are you? I'm one of those nervous twitchy football fans who tries to kick every ball. I can't watch penalties, have a heart attack listening on the radio and always think my team is going to lose!
Best football memory? The build up to the Scotland vs Italy match last November. The buzz around the country before that game was incredible. We knew what we had to do - beat Italy at Hampden and that would see Scotland qualify for Euro 2008. The night before the game, I was hosting BBC Scotland's Children In Need coverage and we had the studio filled with 300 members of the Tartan Army and the band Runrig singing 'The Bonnie Banks Of Loch Lomond'. The hairs on the back of my kilt were standing! I also interviewed the manager Alex McLeish live from the team hotel which was a great moment for me personally. In the end we lost the game but if you've ever followed Scotland you'll know that glorious failure is something we tend to do better than anyone else...
First live football match? The Scottish Cup Final 1988. It was my team, Celtic versus a very good Dundee Utd side who had reached the UEFA Cup Final the year before. What an introduction to live football. I was 7 years old at the time and this was in the days when hardly any matches were televised but the Cup Final was live on the telly. I was so excited at the thought of not only going to the football but the fact I was going to be on TV too! What a can I say, I was a bit of a show off even then....
And key memory? Frank 'Macca' McAvennie grabbing 2 late late goals to win it for Celtic. As Russ Abbot would say - what an atmosphere. My heart was pounding so much I thought it was going to explode! When that winning goal went in I got my first taste of the famous Hampden Roar. I'll never forget that day.
Favourite half time pie filling? This is a difficult one because I don't know if anyone knows what they actually put in those pies. I'm guessing meat but you can never be too sure. I was raised on the Scotch Pies up north. You get them at most of the grounds in Scotland. The pastry tends to be a bit dusty and the meat inside is a kind of light grey colour. (hey, and they say the Scottish diet isn't great!) Despite the less than appetising description one of those with a piping hot cup of Bovril is just what you need on an away trip to Inverness. Incidentally, the best pie I've ever tasted is at Kilmarnock. The Killie Pie is famous north of the border. Flaky pastry, good quality steak meat... it's almost like real food!
And alternative snack? I'm a traditionalist so I try not to stray too far from the Pie and Bovril combo. They do a decent burger at Hampden which I've had a few times which whilst watching the Scottish national team or Rod Stewart in concert. Same thing really.
