Amazon has announced that football fans can now ask Alexa to sing their favourite footballing chant or give them some banter about the opposition!

Featuring fans’ favourite football chants and roasts for more than 40 Premier League, Championship and Scottish Premier League clubs, Alexa will help fans get into the football spirit.

To hear Hibs’ ‘Glory Glory’ chant, fans simply need to say “Alexa, sing me a Hibs song” and they can sing along with Alexa to the terrace favourite.

For Hearts fans, they’ll hear ‘The Hearts Song’ by asking Alexa to play it.

The Hibs can burn the Jam Tarts by asking Alexa for a burn and hearing her say “How does that 1902 song go again? I’ve not heard it for a while” while Hearts fans can roast their rivals on demand by hearing Alexa say, “I’ve got two posters of 90s boy bands. Would you prefer a Boyzone one or a Five one?”

Alexa can also help settle in match disputes with fun information like “Alexa, what colour is North London” and “Alexa, where did Tony Marshall come from?” as well as checking on a fan’s favourite player’s statistics by asking “Alexa, how many goals has Tammy Abraham scored?”.
