Former US President Donald Trump has caused a stir on social media after mistakenly tagging a Scottish football account in a post about absentee voting for the upcoming US election.

The bizarre interaction occurred when Trump's account mentioned @SPFLWatch, an account dedicated to covering ratings and broadcasting in Scottish football, in a tweet about ballot requests in North Carolina.


The unusual crossover between American politics and Scottish football has sparked a flurry of humorous responses from Scottish football fans, highlighting the unexpected intersection of these two vastly different worlds.

Trump's tweet, posted on Tuesday afternoon, read: "@SPFLWatch NORTH CAROLINA: TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO REQUEST A BALLOT.

"If you plan to vote ABSENTEE IN NORTH CAROLINA you need to request your ballot TODAY."

The post included a link, which reportedly directs users to a text messaging service funded by the Trump campaign, rather than an official government page for ballot requests.

A third supporter questioned, "How will you fund the redevelopment of Hampden Park?"

The humorous responses highlight the absurdity of the situation, with Scottish football enthusiasts playfully engaging with a US presidential candidate on matters far removed from American politics.

Some fans even jokingly offered their votes in exchange for football-related promises, with one stating, "To get my vote you have to agree Killie pies are the best pies in football."
